A graduate of the school of hard knocks without a strong male voice to discount its teachings, Animal is confident that instructing Darius in a similar fashion will arm his first born to be a man. But to teach another to be a man, one must understand what it means to be a man. And an animal is no man.

Imprisoned for robbery, Animal leaves his son and his mother to fend for themselves. Considering the cellblock and the street one and the same, Animal survives in jail using the same methods he employed in the 'hood. But when Animal attacks in vengeance disregarding wise counsel, he is fortuitously ostracized from the prison crime syndicate. Berwell, a revolutionary jailhouse philosopher intervenes and guides the unrepentant murderous thug along a path of self-discovery and redemption.
