About

During his 18 years in Folsom Prison, street-gang leader Santana rules over all the drug-and-murder activities behind bars. Upon his release, Santana goes back to his old neighborhood, intending to lead a peaceful, crime-free life. But his old gang buddies force him back into his old habits.
This prison epic swaps mindless violence for a brutal look at how systemic cycles trap men in lifelong loops of recidivism. Even as the protagonist attempts to trade his gang leadership for a quiet life, the crushing weight of his past makes redemption feel nearly impossible.
