Bobby and Jimmie return home in the morning to find Carole passed out on the couch from smoking PCP.

In prison, Bobby becomes a respected gang leader, falls from grace, and turns his life around with the help of his cellmate, Ali.

Once released, he returns to South Central Los Angeles and drives to the halfway house to find Jimmie.

Jimmie is shocked that his father has denounced the Deuce gang and will not seek revenge against Willie Manchester.

[5] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly wrote the film “offers a wrenching view of modern youth-gang violence by demonstrating, with desperate candor, that the civilized alternatives are fast disappearing”.
