Overview

 In a small town tucked inside of Sacramento, California lies the rawness of circumstances succumbed to an environment of crime and violence. The presentation of opportunities to live a higher quality of life sucked the soul out of three young men. Each have their own story to tell and each have their own karmic lessons to learn. Living in a disadvantaged neighborhood, the stakes are high. Lust for money drives the ambition towards drugs, sex, betrayal, and even murder. Will Victor, Daley, and Chase Justice find a way out, and into the arms of redemption? Only they can decide their fate.
