About

Introducing Socrates Fortlow, an ex-con struggling to find his place in the world after 27 years in jail. Living in an abandoned apartment building in South-Central L.A., Socrates is one step away from the streets. He bags groceries at the supermarket, recycles bottles and cans for pennies, and feels himself slipping toward invisibility-until he meets 11-year-old Darryl, who is perilously close to a life of violence and bloodshed. Socrates' determination to fight for and save Darryl lights his own pathway to self-forgiveness and possible redemption.

A lyrical and deeply moving work-read by Peter Francis James who perfectly captures Socrates' struggles-Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned provides an unflinching look into inner city life and the soul of one man who refuses to succumb to the despair around him.
