From Director Pablo Toledo comes the hard hitting drama of five inner city kids trying to escape the dangers of the ghetto through a police-sponsored midnight basketball league.

High school basketball phenom Brandon Quhuis (Manny Vidal) is forced to choose between a promising hoop career or join his brother Louie (Robert Zepeda) on the streets. Circles (Alexis Levario), a wild kid determined to go straight, starts to question his very existence once he is banned from the midnight league. Junior College Star Darryl King (Michael Clark), suffers a career ending injury and turns to the streets for solace but only finds misery. Finally, when the mere existence of the basketball league is threatened, all involved must reach deep inside and find the answer to the ultimate question: how to run at midnight and survive.

The film, shot in HDTV using real youth from Tucson's tough south-side neighborhood, chronicles the contemporary urban Latino and African American experience.

It has screened at film festivals and theaters around the globe, such as HBO's Urbanworld Film Festival in NYC and The Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival in Los Angeles.
