Synopsis

Cinematically tracing the early years of Daniel Wolfe's life, from his birth to his first brush with the law at the age of four and then his subsequent arrests; to the birth of the Indian Posse - the Aboriginal street gang in Canada that would eventually claim the title of the largest street gang in North America with over 12,000 members and Danny at the helm; to Danny's death in 2010, Joe Friesen's account of this fascinating character, the gang world he was at the centre of, and the current state of First Nations relations in Canada is gripping, timely, and provocative.
