Eighteen-year old Ronald Blaine, a black man with a storied past, trying desperately to break from gang inclusion and claw his way out of poverty, claims he was acting in self-defense when he shot Joel on a dark street in a poorer section of Las Vegas.

He may have almost burned down the North Side of his Newfoundland outport hometown, but not even his best friend knows for sure.
