Damian Skinner grew up in California's infamous streets of Compton. A place where gang violence is everywhere. The Bloods and the Crips are bitter rivals and often settle disputes with blood shed.
Damian had nothing to do with the gangs growing up, his only focus as a young teenager was sport. He had dreams of making it big in the world of baseball, he worked hard at school on his grades and his game.
His father was a minister in a local church and did his best to shield his children from the gangs and the violence outside.
Unfortunately Damian's older brother would take a different path to Damian and found his way into the Crips and would not only join the notorious gang but also make a name for himself as someone who was willing to do what needed to be done.
In 1996 Damian's life would change as a SWAT team arrives at his home to arrest him for murder, a murder he believes could have been carried out by his own brother.
