Summary of this DVD...
This is a chilling tale of division, racism, and violence. Derrick, a hardcore gangster and a promoter of the Nazi way, is on the path towards a dreary and dark future. His life is changed after prison, but his brother had already started to follow in his footsteps. Will he be able to save his little brother?
