Wracked by guilt and inspired to confess his crime, Andre does odd jobs for the widow (Anna Maria Horsford), becomes a mentor to her young son and begins a romantic relationship with the dead man's daughter. It would appear Andre is struggling to go straight, but the gang members in his life won't let him get away that easily. Soon, Andre finds himself fighting for not just his life, but the lives of those in his new family.
