Synopsis

Film is a love story between Angel (Michael Cortez) and Isaac (Tony Sancho), two warmly human, supportive, sensitive young men. This is shown in a long kiss in a dark alley in Chicago. Angel, in order to be with his secret lover Isaac gives up his allegiance to his former gang and pledges to Isaac's gang led by Reaper (Donato Cruz) after a cruel initiation beating. But when Reaper is later informed that Angel is an ex-gang member of the rival gang, he decides that Isaac should kill him. Issac desperately tries to arrange for him and Angel to escape Chicago but the inevitable happens and the gang captures Angel. When Isaac refuses to execute Angel, Reaper does the job.
