A young man returns to his hometown in Texas to help his ailing father run his bar, but he blames the bar for his mother's death and his father's illness and wants to tear it down.

A modern epic set against the rich background of Chicano culture in east Los Angeles, this picture traces the lives of three young men who have grown up together as brothers--Miklo, Cruz and Paco--and whose lives are inextricably and forever linked.
