Jay, a young muralist, lives in a tough, vibrant Salvadoran neighborhood in Brentwood, NY. As a young teenager, he is involved in a local youth program aimed at both healing generational trauma and helping kids stay away from street violence. While his survival depends on street smarts, his loving single mother, Alma, uses tough love to keep him on the right path. Despite their rocky relationship, Jay relies on his two best friends, Albert and Cisco. Together, they always have each other's backs, especially when it comes to the neighborhood bully, Ray.

 

Things seem to be under control until tragedy strikes when Albert is violently beaten by Ray and his gang. Tired of being bullied, Jay and Cisco seek vengeance for their best friend. Jay soon realizes that one "moment" can forever strip away your innocence. Despite all the challenges, he finds comfort and strength in creating a mural that serves as a testament to his resilience, guiding him through the summer and beyond."
