The lives of five young men change following a tragic incident that makes them question their choices in life and the paths that have led to destruction, calamity and a void unfulfilled.
After being released from prison, Jeziah quickly learns that nothing has changed but he has been replaced by Xavier, who is hard hitting and not easily influenced, and so needs to find a way to keep his brother away from the life he used to live.
He attends a party in order to find his brother, but finds more than he expects.  He is drawn into the lives of those that live in the area and how life has impacted them all.  In one night, lives are changed and unlikely friendships are formed.  
We delve into the lives of Jeziah, Jade, Xavier and Israel and how the stain of being fatherless has affected them individually. 
Jeziah is on a mission to find his brother and ensure that he does not follow in the footsteps that led to his downfall. But he does not recognise the little brother he left behind.  Jeziah soon realises that he is up against more than he expected.  
As a Christian, Omari is not ashamed of the morals and standards that he lives for.  He has ambitions, a goal in life and is determined.   However his life choices are questioned by his best friend Kyle, struggling between the world he has always known and the world he wants to live in. 
Xavier has only known one way of life. He has made sacrifices that have earned his respect and reputation and makes no apologies for the man that he is. He has enemies but is not fearful, because there is nothing that he hasn’t seen and nothing that he hasn’t done.  
Israel just wants to make it.  He wants to make something of himself and make money the legit way.  He is frustrated of how every time one door opens, another one is closed, and he can only rationalise it by the colour of his skin and how young men like himself are portrayed and stereotyped.
Having grown up in foster care, Jade has successfully isolated herself due to her lack of trust for people and the pain they have caused in her life.  Jade is oblivious to the activities which takes place in the area but is soon made aware of the full extent in one night, when her life changes forever. 
As the story unfolds we delve into the lives of these men and discover they have hopes, dreams and also one thing in common.  They live in a world where crime is imminent and enemies are real and out for blood.  The choices they have made in life have not only impacted them but others around themselves.  However, they each come to realise that there is hope and change is imminently on the horizon.
