After serving time for a violent crime, a young man returns home determined to leave his past behind. But escaping the influence of hate proves far more difficult than he expected, especially when the people closest to him begin following the same path. As he tries to break the cycle, he’s forced to confront the consequences of his own actions. Next week, we’re reviewing a powerful drama about redemption, family, and whether it’s ever possible to outrun your past. Commissioned by Fernando Z. 7/21/26.
