Multicultural African-American | Fantasy Urban

A group of friends navigates the trenches of Detroit, doing anything it takes to get ahead.

It’s anything but "business as usual" when growing up on the unforgiving streets of Highland Park. In a small, crime-plagued neighborhood located within the heart of Detroit, any and everything goes when a group of childhood friends fights to survive and make it out of the hood. Nothing is off limits, including selling drugs, scamming, and death to those who stand in their way.
