City Across the River background

City Across the River

A tough-as-nails leader of an urban community center takes on the challenge of revitalizing a group of troubled young individuals.

In the gritty drama, a young Brooklynite named Frank struggles with his dual identities as a good son and brother by day, and a gang member by night. As he becomes increasingly entangled with a group of rough-around-the-edges friends and a ruthless racketeer, Frank's parents worry that he's headed down a dangerous path. Meanwhile, a well-meaning community center director tries to steer Frank back on track before it's too late.
