Plot

Three lifelong friends from East L.A. reach significant turning points in their lives that challenge their unshakable loyalty to one another. Danny (Jacob Vargas) desires to impress his handicapped father by taking a difficult, low-paying job at a bakery; Raymo (Clifton Collins Jr.) turns to selling drugs for a brutal local kingpin, Gramps (Lobo Sebastian); and ladies' man Alfonso (Greg Serano) meets his match in Lucy (Priscilla Garita), who is pregnant. When Raymo is robbed of 1,500 dollars of Gramps' profits, the friends come together to defend Raymo, with ugly consequences.
