1 part Complete Efren grew up in poverty, lost both of his parents to death, and lost his home to an abusive "guardian". But there's one thing he hasn't lost - his brother, Daniel.
After running away from their broken home, the two brothers eventually part ways; Daniel joins a group of street breakdancers, while Efren falls into the clutches of a criminal organization. Daniel is successful in his new career, while Efren gains popularity inside the mob. Efren pickpockets, transports drugs, and even kills a boy his age before being shot by a rival gang member.
It isn't until Efren finds himself lying in an alley, dying from his gunshot wound, that he realizes just how emotionally close he was to Daniel. He laments his grim situation and hopes to be able to see his brother again. However, he dies before his brother finds him, and it isn't until then that Daniel realizes how much he loved his brother, and how his untimely death shook him.
This emotionally-gripping tale tells the story of brotherhood, perseverance, freedom, and how death can bring us closer together.
