Plot

Danny is a talented but troubled graffiti artist. His mother is dead, and his father, Miguel, would rather have Danny working in the family auto shop, helping to make the coveted lowriders that are so important in their East L.A. Latino culture. Their relationship is further strained when Danny is arrested for tagging a bridge and must be bailed out.

Danny’s older brother Francisco, nicknamed “Ghost”, is released from a long prison stint. His relationship with his father is also strained, due to Miguel’s past drinking problem, the way he treated their mother and the fact that he didn’t go visit him while he was in prison. Danny enters into a relationship with a young photographer, Lorelei, that exposes him to a different avenue to share his graffiti skills. Ghost and Danny decide to enter their own car in the big Elysian Park lowrider competition, against their father’s legendary “Green Poison.”

When Miguel’s car wins, Ghost sends his crew to destroy the car and in the ensuing confrontation Miguel gets shot. He survives and Danny visits his father at the hospital where he encounters his crying stepmother who informs him that his father needs to see him. Danny dedicates his time in fixing another lowrider which he names “Marisol”, as his mother, and showing at the El Chele exclusive invitation only car show.

The trials and tribulations everyone faces leads Danny to decide his life’s true direction, Miguel to come to terms with the consequences of all his life’s actions and a family to unite within the confines of a lowrider culture that is unique, special and little understood.
