A gritty 1980s urban vigilante drama about one man's stand against gang violence and the community empowerment that follows.

Tommy takes up temporary housing in a New York neighborhood plagued by a violent gang called the Souls.

Soon he is battling the Souls and not only changing their attitudes, but the attitudes of his previously intimidated neighbors as well.
