Take a journey with an individual struggling between the grip of crime and poverty and the American dream. Trapped between two cultures, in Part One, we are exposed to the 'gringo'side of the journey, where innocence is stolen and stripped away to unveil the raw nature of urban life in America. This is the journey of a lifetime. Expect the unexpected and prepare to become familiar with what you never knew existed. Strap yourself in and buckle up for a thrill ride between two worlds and two cultures, as the American dream is pursued.
