In Norwood Grove, where gang life defines the streets and loyalty is everything, Devon and Travis walk a dangerous line. Devon dreams of escaping through his art, but his family ties to the Black Vipers keep pulling him back into a world of violence. On the other side, Travis, raised in the Black Fists, is caught between the life he knows and a secret desire for something more. As tensions between the rival gangs escalate, both must navigate the brutal realities of the streets while facing their inner struggles. In a place where love is a weakness and betrayal means death, will they survive long enough to break free of the code that binds them?
