This is jeopardized when he is forced to turn to gang members to cover his mother's cancer treatments. He pairs up with twins Rachel and Richard who help steer him through his crisis and overcomes gang allegiance, police intimidation and outright warfare to be awarded a scholarship at Yale University.
