Inside of an impoverished community in Chicago, Illinois, an ex-convicted felon, �Marcus Julian� returns from prison after eight years incarcerated. A product of a failed family structure, Marcus, like so many others in his community, functioned under a �street-code� of savagery. The �Gangster Disciples� governed the territories, and as a former outstanding member he lived in ongoing regret of the mob-related acts that led him to prison.
