First Time Felon

Can a young gangster from Chicago´s West Side turn his life around? A first time felon doesn´t have to be a lifetime criminal. Greg Yance (Omar Epps) has learned all he needs to know about life on the street. As a member of the Vice Lords gang, Greg believes he´s got it made until he´s arrested and jailed for dealing drugs. Behind bars, just one false move could end his life. But a chance to escape certain death arrives when he´s offered a way out, serving time in a rigorous Marine-style boot camp. It´s a choice that will change his life. Under the command ot Supt. Sorley, Captain McBride and a brutal - and brutally honest - guard, Calhoun, (Delroy Lindo)Greg must stand up to intense discipline and heavy-handed punishment. Even if he survives the training, can he carry the boot camp lessons into the real world without being drawn back into a life of crime? For one first time felon, there may be no second chance.
