Budding photographer Rocket sees his friends and brothers grow into gangsters and aspires for more, but struggles to free himself from the shadowy world of drugs and violence that surrounds him. Meanwhile, the volatile Li'l Ze battles his way to becoming a kingpin – until the 'city of God's rival gangs turn their disputes into an all-out war.
