Crazy Town Roswell

The sounds of gunfire, sirens howling in the darkness, families crying due to random acts of violence are all part of cities like Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, but they also belong to the small Southwestern community of Roswell, New Mexico. Crazy Town Roswell is a city filled with senior citizens looking for a quiet place to live out the remaining days of life filled with endless days of gardening, golf, and quiet visits with friends. However, there is also the other side of this community where the thread of inevitability runs rampant among young and old alike. Crazy Town Roswell, or just CTR, is a dark place where gang members are initiated into the deadly, and often fatal lifestyle where few, if any escape. Families are torn apart by the cruelty of drugs, drinking, and violence which often accompany those found at the heart of this life. Too often funerals are paid for by GoFundMe pages on Facebook, a car wash held on Main Street next to the Burger King, or empty bottles decorated with the face of CTR's latest victim find their way to a counter at the local Alsup's convenience store. Mimo Horton, a Probation and Parole officer for the State of New Mexico has a good heart and looks to help several of his clients escape their own destiny as he looks to a brighter future to his own life. Vickie Antunez, a mother who has lost her children to the state due to drugs does what she has to in order to reunite her family. Meanwhile, the Professor Rudy Prudencio, takes on the guise of a reformed convict in order to further his own schemes of success. Finally, the young gangbanger Charlie Archuleta seeks redemption and escape from the CTR gang he joined to survive New Mexico's harsh prison existence where the only rule for joining and leaving is "Blood in and Blood Out." Follow each of their stories as they, and their Parole Officer work to break the inevitable future which comes from being a citizen of Crazy Town Roswell.
