In the near future, when corruption and poverty have taken over, police and government officials no longer take care of the people, but rather, those wealthy residents that can afford the protection. Because of this, families are left to protect themselves, turning their own communities into the armed forces they need to put an end to all of the violence that's quickly sweeping through each, and every, household. Will the law-abiding citizens prevail? Or will the law-breaking officials have their way in the court of life? Or better yet, will they ALL discover a truth NOBODY expected? ------------------------- (****WARNING - CONTAINS SEX, DRUGS, VIOLENCE, ALCOHOL and MORE) -------------------------
