Evelyn and her mother were forced to leave her home on the hill and move to the Tenderloin District.Bruno Vic Vizcarra was born into a life of violence. His father, a respected San Francisco police officer, was murdered before Bruno's seventh birthday. With the death of his father, Bruno's mother turned to alcohol forcing him to grow up "Tenderloin Tough". As he strives to hold the high morals of his father, the gangs are constantly attempting to pull him down.Evelyn and Bruno are students at Drake Middle School.

He's the only man in the Tenderloin that the gangs seem to fear. No one is quite sure why, but Red seems untouchable. He offers his protection to Evelyn, Bruno, and a handful of students from Drake Middle. No more will the Gangs of the Tenderloin bother them.
