criminal
justice system. Preyed upon by guards and
older inmates, Samson is forced to resort
to violence to save his own life.
Samson
establishes a bond with three other inmates
and together they escape. They go on a shop-lifting
spree and bring the booty to JORELL, a drug
dealer and fence who enlists them into his
gang. Through him, Samson meets TERRINE,
a beautiful young crack-house “strawberry”
who steals his heart. A tender love affair
takes root between them, while he learns
that there is more violence and despair
on the mean streets than he has ever realized.
Samson becomes an accessory to armed robbery,
is involved in the murder of two innocent
people and witnesses the death of his best
friend. Finally, with Terrine’s life
on the line, he is forced to kill Jorell.
Struck
with the realization that they are doomed
unless they get out of this life, Samson
and Terrine make a run for it. They know
that alone they’ll never survive,
but together, they have a chance.
Samson
“the child” beats the odds and
becomes a man.
