Summary

Vaughn Harper, a young boy born into generational trauma, navigates a chilling and unpredictably dangerous world of domestic and urban violence as he seeks peace and his true calling. Based on true events, this gritty, memoir-styled journey spans from the mid 1970s through the late '80s in South Los Angeles.
