In the face of an unjust system, a teenager with a bright future may lose everything over a crime he did not commit, but his mother will do anything to see her son walk free.
Demarcus Jones is a star high school basketball player who earns a full athletic scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the world, when his plans are derailed by his arrest for a heinous crime he did not commit. For seventeen-year-old Demarcus of the Bronx, New York, it feels like he is caught up in a Twilight Zone, with a positive identification by the victim, overzealous detectives driven by the motto “guilty until proven innocent,” and a charismatic, undefeated District Attorney determined to prosecute him to the full extent of the law. Certainly, the truth will soon be revealed, and everyone will see he is innocent?
Unbeknownst to Demarcus, he is now the fall guy. For the real culprit, the truth can never be revealed at any cost, by any means necessary. He has too much to lose and enough resources to stay one step ahead of the law. He is wealthy and successful with a powerful family who has all the right connections to maintain his freedom. They are no match for the teenage boy and his single mother. It is a done deal.
However, Naomi Jones is not going down without a fight and refuses to let any ungodly injustice take her only son’s future away. It becomes a bloody war in the quest for truth and justice. One side is out for blood while the other side is pleading the Blood. Only one side can win. Will justice prevail?
