Summary

Ghost shares his journey from growing up in the toughest parts of Brooklyn and Queens to surviving the streets as a member of the Crips. After his brother was paralyzed, Ghost was pulled deep into gang life—getting shot 7 times, losing an eye, and barely escaping death. In this episode, he opens up about life inside the gang, the pain that pushed him there, and the strength it took to finally walk away.
