Summary

Three first-time filmmakers, Justin, Dana and John set out to make a groundbreaking film about the hardships of inner city life in New York City. Justin follows two NYPD offcers, Dan and Alex, while Dana and John focus on Thomas, a black youth poised to move up from his hardships. Stories merge, relationships corrode and the filmmakers become participants in the underground and perilous world they set out to document
