The story

The film is based on the true story of David Wilkerson, a small-town preacher who gets caught in the shadows of a crime-ridden neighborhood in New York City. Guided by the streetwise Little Bo, David quickly learns about the neighborhood and how to approach the cynical juveniles. He encounters the Mau Maus, a gang led by president Israel and his "warlord," Nicky Cruz, and David brings a message of hope to the angry youths.
