The Prison Project

Jair is a young and streetwise drill rapper, who has a cherished but secret career goal as a street wear fashion designer. When his ‘up-to-no-good’ older cousin tries to expose him for no longer wanting to do drill music, his fashion creations go viral. Jair is unaware of the fact that his cousin’s rival is out for revenge because of the stabbing and following death of his little brother. Things take a turn for the worse when a mix up results in the assault of an innocent woman and Jair is forced to choose between his own hopes and dreams and his loyalty and code.
