Deep in the heart of Rio, a new gang has emerged in the favelas. A gang with a sinister reputation, heavy-duty weaponry and a seemingly limitless drug supply. Recruited by the shady organization Trojan Industries, teenage tearaway Luiz Alves must gain initiation, infiltrate the gang and find out who's backing them.

But with guns on every street corner and the threat of exposure - and brutal death - hanging over his head, Luiz's mission of discovery isn't his biggest problem.

Staying alive is.
