Synopsis

Set in the concrete jungles of South Central Los Angeles, Amos follows the story of a young 17 year old kid trying to live up to the expectations of his gangster community. After a robbery goes horribly wrong Amos is chased by rival gang members, seeking refuge on a well-to-do college campus. There he meets Lucy, a young vivacious theater student who opens his eyes to a world of new possibilities. Born into but not built for the gangster lifestyle Amos is confronted with either following the pack or leading a life of his own.
