Synopsis of the film:
Born into a world of crime, deception and murder where violence establishes dominance and only the most ruthless are respected; one mans heroic act sentences him to 17 years of solitude. He returns to reclaim his stolen life and finds himself thrust into becoming his own worst nightmare. Set in the streets of Houston, Texas, in a story inspired by true events, we follow Danny Ortega on his quest to better the life of the ones he loves. Danny's journey takes a turn for the worst when the past he paid dearly for returns to settle the score.
