SYNOPSIS:
For a group of childhood friends turned hustlers, the game – just got real. They knew what they were getting into when they signed up for one of the hood’s oldest professions. But when one of their own meets a grisly and untimely end at the hands of a crooked local lawman named Harold. D-Boys – Jay, JD, CJ, Tres and Loco find themselves in a precarious scenario, where loyalty to the lifestyle and loyalty to their fallen comrade, become inexplicably intertwined. Thomas’s death sets in motion a chain of events, where the crew is left with only two options… fight the law (Harold), to a bloody bitter end.
