Joey, whose older brother, Chavo, is head of the Discípulos gang, tells Hector that he's going to killhim: maybe not today, or tomorrow, but someday. And Hector, frozen with fear, does nothing. From that day forward, Hector'sdeath is hanging over his head every time he leaves the house. He tries to fade into the shadows - to drop off Joey's radar - tobecome no one.But when a fight between Chavo and Hector's brother Fili escalates, Hector is left with no choice but to take a stand.The violent confrontation will take Hector places he never expected, including a reform school where he has to live side-by-sidewith his enemy, Joey. It's up to Hector to choose whether he's going to lose himself to revenge or get back to the hard work ofliving.
