Episode Two - California's Playing Fields
Fierce and brutal, the Tiny Rascals Gangsters dominate the streets of Fresno, California. TRG's roots extend back to the Cambodian Killing Fields of the 1970s. Immigrants looking to flee the violence in their homeland flocked in large numbers to American cities like Long Beach, CA, where they banded together to form what is now one of the largest Asian gangs in the country. With more than 10,000 members nationwide and a reputation for brutality, TRG is a gang to fear. In California, a fierce rivalry with another Asian gang, The Asian Boyz, has been the source of intense violence and many killings over the years, but police in Long Beach and Fresno are making major strides to suppress the crimes committed by both street gangs.

Episode Three - The Devil's Playground
The Devil's Playground delves into the history and current activities of one of Chicago's most intriguing street gangs, the Satan Disciples. The SD's claim they are the only gang in the country that practices free enterprise, meaning that individual members can make money however they choose, legally or illegally.

He allegedly ordered a hit on a more popular, younger leader whose death ultimately spelled his own doom.

It's a place better known for religion than crime, but Salt Lake City, Utah, is home to a gang problem. From Heaven to Hell offers an unprecedented look inside the Utah Crips, a gang that may look different from the LA original, but is no less violent. Interviews with former members, representatives of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and law enforcement officers reveal why the gang formed in this unlikely location and how they terrorize the communities of Salt Lake City.

Episode Six - Bandido Army
Most gangs are born out of the American Dream as immigrants come looking for opportunities they are more often than not shown exclusion, poverty and violence. In response gangs usually start out as a form of protection for their members and the community, but then grow predatory as they feed on the very people that they purport to defend.

Episode Seven - Unknown As of Now


Episode Eight - Rage Agaisnt Society
FSU has two meanings: Friends Stand United or F**k S**t Up. The gang claims no turf. Their domain is the hardcore music scene. Their path traces back almost twenty years to the streets of Boston. It was there that Elgin James, a mixed-race homeless kid, founded the gang and they made their presence known with brutal force. Battling the Neo-Nazi skinhead, they took back the hardcore venues and made it safe for the others who shared them. One of their mottos is friends don't let friends fight alone. If you fight one, you'll fight them all. We interview founding members of FSU, along with law enforcement, as we uncover the bloody history of a gang you've probably never heard of.

Episode Twelve - All Hell Breaks Loose
Zoe Pound is Miami's most notorious Haitian street gang. In the 1980's, many Haitians fled the poverty, disease, and repression of their homeland in search of a better life in the United States. Meeting violent racism in tough Miami neighborhoods, they decided to clique up and fight back. The gang was hungry for respect and thrived as a criminal organization with a brutal methodology. Zoe Pound orchestrated violent home invasions across the city, and targeted Haitian freighters on the Miami River that were importing illegal shipments of cocaine, beating and torturing the ships' crews. By the late-1990's, Zoe Pound went from being the lowest-of-the-low, to the hardest gang in Miami.
