“HIS-PANIC”
A story inspired by true events.

To achieve this, our main character becomes trapped in a double life; his undercover life on the streets alongside the same criminals he detests, and his life with his family. The climactic ending brings to light the horrible fact that, it's not enough to know the streets... you have to own them!
