The Comedy and tragedy of the brothers Gonzales -  growing up in the Puerto Rican section of the Bronx, whose coming of age is marked by the untimely death of their father.

Johnny, the rough and rugged older brother who spent most of his life trying to toughen Cisco up finds himself drowning in a pool of guilt, emotionally claiming responsibility for Cisco’s death. Cisco, the needy, innocent free spirit with a flair for the outrageous, shares, through diaries he left behind, his unusual wit and wisdom with Johnny.

The result is a warm, affectionate and hilarious love letter from one brother to another filled with the hearty characters, flavors and textures of The Bronx in the 70's and displays a very witty understanding of life.
