It’s a desultory existence for Keith (the appealing McCaul Lombardi), a young man living with his dad in the Baltimore neighborhood that gives this movie its title. He wears a bracelet on his ankle that monitors him; he’s out of prison after doing time for an unspecified crime and still under house arrest. He can’t get permission to travel out of state for a family function.

When he goes out for a run — his toned physique speaks of a devotion to fitness — he’s greeted outside his home by some cartoonishly thuggish types who remind him they were there for him “on the inside.” Keith’s reaction suggests he’s not interested in what they’re selling.

Back in the house, Keith fires up the computer and tries to get into an online course related to his stated ambition of learning a trade. It would be salutary to learn one, but he is easily distracted. He soon goes to Facebook instead, looking up an old friend, a tattooed fellow who posts pictures of himself delighting in thug poses.
