JOE LEZAMA is growing up hard in the streets of L.A. Falling in love was the last thing on his mind until he meets her; an innocent girl-child that takes his heart by thunder and sends his mind for a spin as he seeks out the meaning of existence. Facing all odds against the cruel reality of street life, he plunges into the world of life and death; between love and hate, between law and order, between anarchy and chaos as he battles the city's crime lord to defend a dying community rotting in the streets of L.A. at place he calls home on TOBERMAN STREET.
