Straight out the hood... Born to live, raised to survive. A family of lawyers, businessman, prostitutes, and gangsters looking for a way out. This is their chance to go big. Wanting to become bosses and willing to die trying.

Shaunta was much older than Chase when they met. She was 31 when he was 16. She never thought that a young man, such as Chase, would still her heart. His mother, Janet, didn’t approve of him being with an older woman, such as a Shaunta. After his father had been murdered in the streets of B-town, his mom didn’t know how the bills would get paid. At 16, Chase took to the streets so he could help out his mom with the bills and his two younger siblings, Jerry and Sheila. Dusty Sr., a retired street pharmacist from New Orleans, takes Chase under his wing and teaches him the true meaning of a hustle.
