PLOT:
At the age of ten, Tre Styles moves to the inner city to live with his dad, Furious Styles. The elder Styles is determined to raise his son with self-respect and self-worth, not an easy task in a neighborhood where crime and drugs are rampant. By the age of seventeen, Tre is a level-headed young man who has stayed out of trouble, unlike his friend Doughboy, who has been in and out of jail several times. His brother hopes a football scholarship will be his way out. Tre works hard to be true to his father and to his friends, but violence, which can change your life in an instant, is something they all have to deal with.
