The Lorton Correctional Complex was one of the most notorious prisons in US history. It housed convicts from Washington, DC. Known for violence and corruption, it shaped and molded every man, or woman, that experienced life on the inside.

Sent to Lorton at age 17 for armed robbery, Ronald Mays is introduced to a world where only the strong survive. In prison he is forced to better himself as a man. He learns to read, he drops his heroin habit, and he becomes a father. Being a loyalist at heart, Ronald gets involved in a feud with older convicts that can cost him everything. A survivor by nature, Ronald makes it out of Lorton alive and returns to the streets of DC with his mind focused on doing bigger and better things with his life. He leaves all of his old ways alone and pursues his dreams of becoming a pro boxer. If he succeeds, he wins for all those close to him. No matter how hard he tries to avoid the drama of the DC streets, it comes his way hard and fast. Ronald finds himself fighting his yesterdays in order to attain his dreams of tomorrow.

Like most real men that survived Lorton, Ronald is driven by his will to succeed and his demand for respect. Nothing will get in his way. An epic story of struggle, adversity, and accomplishment.
