Growing up as a kid on the east side of Buffalo, N.Y, Bum knew what it was like to struggle. He didn't have much of anything. As he grew older the allure of the streets pulled him in. He started selling drugs and making money. Now, at 24, money is a whole other issue. "More Money, More Problems." He now has to deal with the hate and jealousy of the other hustlers in the city, as well as the greed of those close to him. With the help of his two right hand men, Mojo and Bumpkin, and the three man clique they call their "Young Guns" (Y.G's), he deals with the problems and tries to concentrate on making more money. Will the streets prove to be too much for Bum? Lex is the son of one of the biggest drug dealers in town. He was born into the game. However, he wants to follow his own path. He tries to abandon the streets to pursue his goal of becoming a pro football player, and getting his loved ones out of the streets also. Will his decision to abandon the streets come too late? Billy D is a cold blooded killer, a hit man. After witnessing his father's murder as a kid, his heart remained cold. Killing came naturally to him, he enjoyed it. Will his joy for murder cause him heartache? Money, Murder and Drugs are the common themes in the streets.
