The Watts riots of 1965 lay destruction in its wake. Fast forward to the early 90's, and the urban youth of South Central L.A. are still trying to find their way. Broken homes, gang violence, and the drug game dot the 'hood. Caine Lawson finds himself embroiled in the turmoil, having grown up with little means and the child of a dealer and addict. Will Caine break the cycle or remain a menace to himself and a Menace II Society?
