His name is Louis Stevens, and he is determined to change the lives of the lost youth on the streets. With a dark past but a heart full of ideals, Louis confronts the harsh reality of a community ravaged by gangs and violence.
However, not everything is easy. Upon his arrival, Louis encounters the resistance of disillusioned youth who have lost faith in any kind of authority. But he is unwilling to give up.

Louis must find a way to protect his students, facing not only his enemies on the street but also his own internal demons.
