Nach einer wahren Begebenheit: Stanley 'Tookie' Williams verschlägt es in den frühen 70er Jahren nach Los Angeles. Dort wird er schnell mit dem Gesetzt der Straße bekannt gemacht, schon bald genießt er aufgrund seines Durchsetzungsvermögens den Ruf als gnadenloser Straßenkämpfer, er gründet die Gang 'Crips'. In den 80er Jahren wandert 'Tookie' wegen vierfachen Mordes ins Gefängnis. Vom Gangleben abgeschnitten beginnt er zu begreifen, was er in seinem Leben alles falsch gemacht hat und versucht aus dem Gefängnis heraus die Jugend von den Gangs fernzuhalten. Für seine Literatur wird Williams mehrfach für den Friedens- und Literaturnobelpreis nominiert.

When the dying's over
When the last tear falls
When the empty wells overflow
To fill us all
We'll see it with our very own eyes
Very own eyes and we'll realize
We're alive for the very first time
The very first time
Burdens we have carried
Melt away like snow
Loved ones gone before us
Welcome us home
We'll see it with our very own eyes
Very own eyes and we'll realize
We're alive for the very first time
The very first time
Someday we will remember how to fly
Then we will rise like embers burning bright
Everything broken will be whole again
We are the ransomed
We are the redeemed
We are the bride and shall forever be
Loved from the start without end
It will not end
We'll see it with our very own eyes
Very own eyes and we'll realize
We're alive for the very first time
