The story centers around a street life thug named Caine (Tyrin Turner) and his friend [[HairTriggerTemper O-Dog]] (Larenz Tate) living in the streets of Watts. Caine is a thug with a heart, and the opportunity to succeed, if the streets will let him. With a father (Creator/SamuelLJackson) that dealt heroin and a mother (Khandi Alexander) who was addicted to it, he had no chance as a child, and went to live with his grandparents. After graduating high school, a feat that none of his friends pulled off, he had choices to make, and although his heart was in the right place, he was stuck in the wrong time. Watch as he struggles with car jackings, murdered friends, taking care of a single mother (Creator/JadaPinkett) and her son, and a question that burns in the back of his mind, asked by his grandfather. 'Do you want to live or die?' is the simple choice his grandfather put out to him...but the answer doesn't come until it's too late.
