Abstract:Southern California. Omar Ortega is about to graduate high school. For years he's been on the fringes of gang life, trying desperately to stay out of the cross-hairs. Joining the Army will help get his mother and siblings out of the barrio, where they've lived since his father was deported. But Chunks, the gang's shot-caller, has plans for Omar.
