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.
