📖 Story
A peaceful summit becomes a bloodbath when a rival's bullet kills the most powerful gang leader in New York. The Warriors, a Coney Island crew caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, become the hunted—blamed for an assassination they didn't commit. Racing through the city's savage underbelly, they must navigate a gauntlet of enemies, survive the impossible odds, and make it home before dawn. It's a visceral journey about brotherhood forged in chaos and the desperation of the wrongly condemned.
