In the gritty streets of Chicago, a teenage street gang leader finds himself caught in a web of crime and violence that spirals out of control, leading to a tragic incident. Following a confrontation that goes fatally wrong, he is sentenced to a juvenile detention center, marking the beginning of a new and far more dangerous chapter in his life. Inside the detention center, the dynamics of power, survival, and allegiance are starkly different from the streets, compelling him to navigate through the harsh realities of incarcerated life. The center is rife with rivalries, gangs, and a strict hierarchy that challenges his accustomed way of handling conflict and asserting dominance.

Within these confines, he must contend with the complexities of his own anger and the need for self-preservation while being surrounded by inmates with their own agendas and histories of violence. Relationships with fellow detainees and the facility's staff push him to confront his past actions and the person he wants to become. Struggles for power and respect within the center's walls mirror the gang conflicts he left behind, but with much higher stakes. His journey through the detention center becomes not only a fight for survival but a quest for redemption, questioning whether one can truly break free from a cycle of violence and make amends for the past.
