When Tyrell Forrester gets caught up in a high-profile armed robbery, he's sentenced to two years in a young offenders' prison. Now he's getting out, and he's determined to turn his life around. But despite his release, systemic discrimination makes it difficult for Ty to truly be free. Inspired by a visiting poet while inside, Ty discovers a whole new world through spoken word and is finally finding his voice. But will society ever see him as anything other than a criminal?
