Plot Overview

The cops arrive at a rumble between two rival street gangs, causing members of both gangs to scatter. Terry chases after one gang member, the brother of an old friend of his, but is struck by a car driven by other gang members and is critically injured. The gang members load Terry into a car and dump him somewhere else. The guilt-ridden kid he was chasing returns to help him, leading him to be marked for death by his fellow gang members.
