Geovany was a ruthless hitman for the 18th Street gang now serving his sentence in an isolation cell in El Salvador. In prison, he withdrew from the gang and joined an Evangelical church that lavished God's forgiveness on him. However, there is a sin that is not forgivable for either the gang or the church: being gay.
