Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned

Meet Socrates Fortlow, a tough ex-con seeking truth and redemption in South Central Los Angeles– and finding the miracle of survival.

“I either committed a crime or had a crime done to me every day I was in jail. Once you go to prison you belong there.” Socrates Fortlow has done his time: twenty-seven years for murder and rape, acts forged by his huge, rock-breaking hands. Now, he has come home to a new kind of prison: two battered rooms in an abandoned building in Watts. Working for the Bounty supermarket, and moving perilously close to invisibility, it is Socrates who throws a lifeline to a drowning man: young Darryl, whose shaky path is already bloodstained and fearsome.

In a place of violence and hopelessness, Socrates offers up his own battle-scarred wisdom that can turn the world around.
