ONE DREAMS OF THE FUTURE. ONE HAS NIGHTMARES ABOUT THE PAST.
Seventeen-year-old Stephen lives in a neighborhood where street gangs rule. He wants no part of that, so keeps his head down to avoid becoming a victim. But staying invisible is tough, especially when Archie is in the vicinity.
To Archie, Stephen is a painful reminder of everything he’s missed out on—sober, caring parents, a decent education, good friends, a bright future. When he spots a weakness in the younger boy, he targets him for payback.
The inevitable confrontation results in a series of events that propels Stephen down a pathway of deception and criminality, threatening those closest to him. He must find a way out of the mess before it’s too late.
Then one night, Archie’s dream becomes Stephen’s nightmare.
