Just one shot, and Ray became a KILLER!

In prison, he finds his gangbanger ties difficult to escape and even necessary for survival. Just when he's resigned himself to this new existence, Ray receives an unexpected gift--forgiveness. Even as he learns that the source of this forgiveness is God, Ray struggles with accepting it. And then the ultimate test comes: When faced with the man who ruined his life, can Ray extend that same forgiveness to him?
