A past that brings with it memories of horror and deep regret. Miklo is a man whose mother was Chicano and father was white. Miklo constantly fights a battle of not feeling comfortable in his own skin. He feels as though he has been betrayed by his mother and father. What he cannot come to terms with is his white skin and blue eyes that don't entirely fit in with a Chicano family. He so desperately longs to fit in with his true family and to be part of his cousins' gang. Constantly trying to prove himself worthy of his cousins acceptance that when a retaliatory attack occurs on a rival gang it sends Miklo, out on probation, back to prison, and he finds himself in San Quentin.
