Plot summary
Goose leads The Ravens, a street gang in Dayton, Ohio that has been feuding with a rival crew called The Spiders. The Spiders answer to Danny, a thug who is abusive to the people around him, and Bonecrusher, one of his men, is known for his rage. Goose likes the criminal life, but his girlfriend Christie, who is into mysticism, tells him she will leave him if he stays in the gang. He gives up his place at the top, and Keith, the second-in-command, takes over the Ravens. Before he can build anything new, Goose agrees to one last drug deal, the money meant to fund a fresh start with Christie.
