By day, graffiti writers "Heir" and "Vain" work their dead-end day jobs, while at night they inhabit the underground graffiti world of San Francisco's Mission District. After a clash with the law, they find their lives spinning out of control with potentially explosive consequences.

This powerfully affecting film offers a rare glimpse into the graffiti subculture, where the two young writers struggle to maintain their friendship as their lives unravel and the cops close in.

"Well-acted, sharply observed and authentically gritty."
