Summary

At 13, Gyasi Ferdinand was an innocent kid from Trinidad, living with his mom in suburban Toronto. By 17, everything had changed. Gyasi was pulling in up to $2000 a night selling crack cocaine. At 25, he lost it all. Four bullets from a rival dealer's gun left Gyasi inches from death. The shooting led to a profound spiritual experience, and a personal struggle that Gyasi had never anticipated. The program takes us inside the mind of a man still struggling with the temptations of the street while at the same time trying to serve God. This documentary is a journey into the world of drugs, gangs and guns - a world much talked about and feared but rarely understood.
