From his sheltered childhood to his rude awakening to reality, must learn how to be a survivor in the ghetto streets of Akron, Ohio. Being a survivor also means that he'll have to learn how to accept that the world doesn't come in different shades of gray, and that he is on the wrong side of black and white. When he enters the criminal justice system, he finds it rigged against him from the beginning. Can Rilei tell his story and change the fate society has written for him?
