Eddie A. Castro, Jr.

Skipped ahead two grades, Daniel is the new kid in school, and finds himself the target of Julio and his friend. Being smaller than everyone else, and using a kid's bookbag doesn't help him either. At home, Daniel's father Marcos, a cop, is another bully in his life. After one more particularly brutal beatdown by Julio, Marcos threatens Daniel to do something about it. Daniel is finally pushed into making a drastic decision, one that could cost him everything.

We follow Roberto during his teen years in New York City where he faces different obstacles.
