A conspiracy draws Julius Jr. into the brutal streets of South Dallas, where pimping, drug dealing, treachery, and betrayal go hand in hand.

When Julius Jr.'s family is gruesomely murdered, his life takes a dramatic turn. His mother, Naje', moves to Texas to care for her youngest son and finds herself drawn into a conspiracy that threatens not only his life but hers as well. Roll with Julius as he grows into the ultimate hustler and unrelenting killer that the gang-ridden streets of South Dallas often breed. Where pimping, drug dealing, treachery, and betrayal go hand in hand.
