Premise
A young Chicano gang member in Los Angeles comes to realize that the gang life is not what he really wants but doesn't know how to get out.
Robby Benson plays Emilio, a young gang member in Los Angeles who begins to question his gang life when he meets and starts to fall for a girl who encourages him to try and leave.
