A tale of three friends growing up together 'in the 'hood.'
Half-brothers Doughboy and Ricky Baker are foils for each other's
personality, presenting very different approaches to the tough lives
they face. Ricky is the 'All-American' athlete, looking to win a
football scholarship to USC and seeks salvation through sports, while
'Dough' succumbs to the violence, alcohol, and crime surrounding him in
his environment, but maintains a strong sense of pride and code of
honor. Between these two is their friend Tre, who is lucky to have a
father, 'Furious' Styles, to teach him to have the strength of character
to do what is right and to always take responsibility for his actions.
