When the citywide mural project comes to town, Kiki finds a spray can of paint and turns the blank walls of his neighborhood into a colorful canvas that lets him express himself through his vibrant artistry. At the same time, he shows the world the super-power of his cultural community and celebrates what it truly means to be a hero. Golden Globe nominee, Tony Award-winning actor, and cultural historian John Leguizamo collaborates with his childhood friend, internationally renowned graffiti artist John "Crash" Matos, to bring their beloved childhood experiences to the page in this love letter to creative expression.
