Cross Roads (/'krôs rōdz/):
A point at where a crucial decision must be made that will have far-reaching consequences.

They were two individuals, both mad at the world. 

Both teenagers: Beatriz and Kareem, seem to have something against the world, something against the way their lives turned out to be. Being from two different sides of town, you would think they'd have something against each other as well. However, when these two teens cross paths, it turns out to be more than "fate" that lead them to one another.
