Juan Garcia is a boy on the threshold of manhood living in a gang-controlled neighborhood. His role models could not be further apart: his older sister Angie, a single mom, struggling to gain a foothold in the white corporate world and his uncle Manny, an ex-gang member, who has fallen into an acting career playing gang bangers since his release from prison. With the future on his doorstep, Juan, like most boys, can only think of girls and is unaware of the judicial system's hard line stance against gang affiliation. 　　译文(3): 胡安·加西亚是一个即将成年的男孩，生活在一个帮派控制的社区。他的榜样再远不过了：他的姐姐安吉是一位单身母亲，正努力在白人企业界站稳脚跟，而他的叔叔曼尼是一名前帮派成员，自从出狱后，他就开始了扮演帮派成员的演艺生涯。未来就在眼前，胡安和大多数男孩一样，只能想到女孩，而不知道司法系统对帮派关系的强硬立场。
