## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You raise a son in 1960s South Central L.A. just as Crips factions fracture the streets and then you're 19 and leading one. After decades inside the law turns on you and the state prepares to take your life but you write children's books from a twelve-by-seven cell. A biopic turns that hunger for peace into a quiet hurricane.
