When all you know is hate, love is a radical act.

Violence and hatred have burned through the city leaving it a gritty wasteland. Fueled by their parents’ rage, lawless teenagers kill one another in the streets. Yet among the ash and rubble, two tender lovers discover each other and risk everything to follow their hearts. Romeo and Juliet’s radical and defiant act illuminates the depths of passion and the price exacted when misunderstanding and hatred prevail.
