Unaware of what just happened, Caloy Braganza looks around and sees Mes standing over the body of Raffy, his younger brother.
Tomas Ramirez is a confused teen who us hard on his luck and has a lot of problem with his family. He constantly butts head with his mom who always pushes him to help out with their situation. As a solution to his problems he decides to join a gang in hopes to make things better. One day Tomas sees Mes, a cousin he hasn't seen in a long time. As they catch up, Tomas confides his plans of joining a gang but is told to think twice before doing so.
