"Welcome to Nebraska the good life " That's what the sign read on the side of the interstate as Devin, a six-year-old boy, and his mom arrived in Omaha, Nebraska. Little did they know, when they exited the interstate on Hamilton Street and turned right, it would not be the kind of life the sign read, but a life where kids had to learn how to fend for themselves, because their parents were heavy into drugs, alcohol, prostitution, working two jobs in a single-parent home, or just too young and unavailable to care, leaving their children vulnerable to the cold reality of life in the bottoms of North Omaha, where poverty, rape, murder, drugs, envy, greed, and double-crosses, were bread into the hearts and minds of young girls and boys, causing them to lose sight of their childhood dreams and goals, because of crack cocaine and the money that came from selling drugs. No longer would their dreams be of being pro athletes, doctors, or nurses, but because of information that their young eyes and ears should have never been privileged to, their lives would take a different turn from the path of their school friends. Will they be products of their environment or can they beat the odds?
