This is the story of Raymond Lee Washington, founder of the Crips street gang & a theatrical re-creation of events which took place in Southern California in the late 1960s & early 197os. The saga follows the demise of the Black Panthers & simultaneous rise of a 15-year-old street fighter into his early twenties - a short span which changed Los Angeles & America forever.

Edgar Hoover & the FBI, Bunchy Carter, Huey Newton, Ron Karenga, John Huggins Jr., Elaine Brown, Geronimo Pratt, Tookie Williams, Michael 'Shaft' Conception, Jimel 'Godfather' Barnes, Mac Thomas, Greg 'Batman' Davis, Curtis 'Buddha' Morrow & more.
