San Francisco’s Mission District is the setting for a powerful exploration of a neighborhood in transition and the people who call it home. Che (Benjamin Bratt), an ex-con who has turned his life around, lives according to a machismo code of honor. A single parent, he is devoted to his teenage son, Jesse, his lifelong friends; and his passion for lowrider cars. When Che discovers Jesse is gay his first reaction is violent and rejecting. With his world now undone, can he make the hard climb toward understanding?
