This poignant drama follows a young man's journey from a childhood in the rural South and urban cityscapes to the heights of the underground economy and the music industry. Raised by resilient women while his father is imprisoned, he quickly learns that survival requires masking his thoughts and mastering the 'education' of the streets. Alongside his loyal partner Tripp, he navigates dangerous rivalries and high-stakes runs in Atlanta, eventually rising to a position of power. However, the weight of wealth brings suffocating paranoia, police surveillance, and the heartbreaking loss of those closest to him. In an attempt to secure a legitimate future, he pivots to the music business, seeking ownership and peace. Yet, just as he begins to reconcile with his past, the violent ghosts of his previous life return for a final, devastating confrontation, proving that escaping the cycle of the streets requires more than just success.
