Having lost his way following the death of his younger brother, Kadir (Asante Blackk in a star-making performance) escapes into the treacherous world of South Bronx graffiti gangs. To prove himself to his neighborhood, he attempts to rob tough-talking MTA conductor Luis (Luis Guzmán) on the Story Ave subway platform but is disarmed by the man’s offer to exchange the cash for a sit-down meal. Through the warmth of the ensuing connection, Kadir discovers the transformational potential of art and friendship. Having established himself as the creative force behind music videos for such artists as Nas, 2 Chainz, and Ludacris, Aristotle Torres announces himself as a major filmmaking talent to watch.
