First sentence: Described as a young, urban “The Sopranos”-meets-”Boys In The Hood,” this book-formatted film version of M. Rutledge McCall's true story details the 16 months he spent living in the largest, most violent ghetto in America. During his time in South Central, Compton and Watts, gang members were sending bullet riddled corpses to county morgues at the rate of one nearly every 11 hours. After spending months in those violent neighborhoods on a regular basis, gang members developed sufficient trust in McCall that they allowed him to be involved in every aspect of their lives. To go where they went, to see what they saw, to do what they did. To move among them as no white outsider had ever been allowed.
