On the sixth of December 1993, a drug dealer called Scrappy is shot and left for dead on her mother's lawn in South Central LA. A heroin addict witnesses the shooting, and seizes the moment to steal Scrappy's drugs, as well as the handgun that was dropped at the scene. When he's busted, he names local gang members Wizard and Dreamer as the shooters. There's only one problem: one of them is guilty; the other, innocent. None of that matters, though, when the gun turns up again - miles from where the shooting happened - and both are arrested. Played out in the streets, precincts, jails and courtrooms of Los Angeles, 'The System' is a breakneck journey through every phase of the American criminal justice system.
