This is the story about a man who grew up in small town suburbia, had a loving mother and father, brother and sister, and a great schooling system, until his father is shot dead by a black gang membor, (though you won't find out well into the movie), which turns his life up-side-down. Now he's abandoned his school work, ditched his loving family and joined a neo-nazi organization. So while he and his gang of thugs go on power trips and destroy stores etc., his (Derek Vinyard, Norton) younger brother sits by and takes notes. So finally one day Derek finally does it, commits murder. So after being sentenced to 3 years in prison for voluntary man slaughter. Get's out to find out the truth about life and ditches the whole neo-nazi thing. Now his main goal is to get his family back on track, and get his brother out of the predicament that he put him in, and do it as quietly as possible.
Overall, very moving and brutal story behind the truth of neo-nazi's, the fact that all they are are a bunch of kids who get tired of being pushed around by other races. Until that finally snap. But beware this movie really takes you to the limit of watchable and to just listening.
Co-Starring: Guy Torry, Alex Sol, Guiseppe Andrews, Paul LeMat.
