Synopsis

Urban Vengeance follows 18 year old Jack Urban who is out to avenge the death of his kid sister - her life taken by rival street gangs. Jack lives in "No-Comply Skate Shop," a real life location in Austin, where he is haunted by dreams of his younger sister, SAM URBAN (Carson Goldsmith). Sam was killed at the hands of THE KING (Kelvin Girdy), a rising drug leader with dozens of street soldiers under his command. Jack and Sam were taken to Austin from Los Angeles under mysterious circumstances by their father, now missing from their life. Before Jack can leave Austin behind, he has made it his mission to eliminate The King and turn the lives of his gangsters upside down, as they did his own life. Jack relies on himself, his trusty sidekick, BLIND (Gabe Shebesta) and a Ukrainian foreign exchange student named ALEK (Seth Barton) who provides Jack an arsenal of weapons, stolen from local gangs.

While investigating the whereabouts of The King, Jack meets DOROTHY (Victoria Lydia Rodriguez), King's former lover who has her own reasons for wanting King dead. She promises to deliver him to Jack by the next day. However, the blood on Jack's hands has led him to question his actions. What would his sister think of what he has done in her name? Supported by Blind's friendship, Jack nearly leaves his vengeance behind only to soon find out his actions set forth an irreversible war he must finish.

What was once a journey for vengeance is now a test of heroism as Jack uncovers a threat that is more than just personal. Up against ruthless gangs and now corrupt officials thrown in the mix, Jack must skate and destroy his way through shady streets and concrete ditches, becoming a folk-hero to the city and a threat to the powers that be.
