Life in the barrio is never easy, especially when you're only in 6th grade and no one seems to listen. For Jaime, his world will soon become a mystery to solve in the barrio, as two rival gangs battle it out over turf and respect. Meanwhile, Maria, a young runaway teenage mother, finds out how tough it can be on the mean streets of Tierra Rosa while trying to protect her baby. Her boyfriend, "Chava" is an up and coming gangster under his brother's wing. All three of their lives seem intertwined within a dark web of deceit and feelings of disrespect, until the mystery of all mysteries is resolved, and every homie's life in the barrio is changed forever.
