Description:When getting out of the hood is a dream, but the chances are stacked against you--Dique: "supposedly." He's not supposed to be here--in Brooklyn, in the U.S., in the hood.

His coming-of-age is the story of so many immigrants--the undocumented, the poor, the oppressed, and the unafraid--how he went from no electricity to bright lights in the Big Apple, beat his circumstances while never losing his Dominican dreams.
