Storyline
Derek Vineyard is paroled after serving 3 years in prison for killing two thugs who tried to break into/steal his truck. Through his brother, Danny Vineyard's narration, we learn that before going to prison, Derek was a skinhead and the leader of a violent white supremacist gang that committed acts of racial crime throughout L.A. and his actions greatly influenced Danny. Reformed and fresh out of prison, Derek severs contact with the gang and becomes determined to keep Danny from going down the same violent path as he did. Written by Nitesh D.(nmxpa7@msn.com)

Continuity: When the police officer is pulling Derek off the ground after the shooting, he has his right arm over Derek's chest. In the next shot, he has his left arm, and then in the next shot his right arm again. (This is the second flashback to this incident, occurring about 1 hour into the film.) See more »Quotes
Cameron: You made the fat kid a little nervous. He thinks the joint messed with your mind.Derek Vinyard: It did.
