Description: Born and raised in the streets of South Central, Khalid has lived and breathed the thug lifestyle, but now, after being released from jail for the third time, Khalid makes a vow to himself to stay out of the streets and live life the right way. But it won't be easy. His old gangbanging friends have turned against him, and other friends have joined the world of gangbanging. To further complicate matters, he is finding himself torn between two different women, both of whom have ties to the streets. Khalid is doing everything he can to turn his life around, but not many people are there to support him. Will he be strong enough to stay away from the thug lifestyle when everything and everyone around him wants to pull him back in?
