About this movie

After the death of his parents, Jesse Torres leaves his childhood cattle ranch for the bright lights of Los Angeles. Reconnecting with his childhood friend Tom, he finds himself in a squalid neighborhood of drugs, gangs, and broken dreams. Struggling with his new life, Jesse finds solace in a local girl, Lil' Bit, but as romance blossoms, Jesse finds himself confronted by the local pimp, Capone (Danny Trejo of MACHETE, TV'S SONS OF ANARCHY), who owns her. When his best friend Tom also gets into trouble with Capone's gang, Jesse must make some hard choices with dangerous consequences, or risk losing what little he has left.
