Driven by a desperate need to protect her son from the dangers of Washington D.C.’s impoverished neighborhoods, a resourceful single mother takes extraordinary action.

Her fight against powerful politicians and dangerous drug lords puts her and her son in increasing peril as she strives to create a better life for his generation.
