A young man born in the concrete jungles of Miami's Liberty City, during the racial turbulent times of the 1960s! In spite of the many issues of the time, he's forced to deal with an even worst problem within the very home, his father's terroristic behavior dominated by a life of extreme alcoholism! Searching for even the smallest piece of peace, he's pointed in the direction of the church, only to find hypocrisy in the leadership of Reverend W.K. Smith, his uncle! Football becomes an outlet for his pinned up anger, confusion and frustration and it's visibly displayed by his violent and destructive way of tackling! It's crystal clear that he's not only talented enough to play in the NFL, but play at a high level for an extremely long time! Nevertheless, the strong gravitational pull of a hustling lifestyle coupled with fast money, fast cars and even faster women are no match for his many mentors! He's now happy with living in the fast lane on the hustling expressway of the dope game! His mind and body is cultivated by the dangers of greed, lust and sex and even more so the gangsta lifestyle and culture; whereas, there's not an ounce of fear in him of going to prison, being murdered or even killing! However, self- preservation is the first law of nature, so when the Angel of Death approach and touches him on his shoulder, does he accept the consequences of being murdered in the streets like a true and real life gangsta or does he cowardly cry, beg and pray for his life?! Only God knows!!!
