Growing up in the ghetto in Jamaica, you usually become apart of the statistics.

Follow the journey of two youngsters Keisha and Shawn who is willing to defy all the odds that's stacked against them of making it out alive. This is their story from the tender age of 12 years old into adulthood and how their lives changed overtime.

..."Are you willing to just throw away your life just like that?" 

"Is this what we fought so hard for? For you to just become apart of the ghetto statistic?!"

"Keisha, it is what it is. I have no regret in doing what I did." I looked in his eyes and replied "Shawn I love you and I want for you to live, I want you to have those dreams we said we would accomplish." 

"Did any of that mean anything to you?" He noded his head and said "that's why I am doing what needs to be done, so we can live that dream Keisha".
