"Don't ever leave me again" With age comes responsibility, some comes sooner than for others. Being in a family filled with drugs and murder it's only normal to follow in the footsteps of those before you. With old beefs growing more and more deadly the family is more divided then ever. Everything comes at a cost and karma is very much real, it just hits in different ways. With the Jamaican cartel thriving in the drug world and deemed untouchable an old beef between Moriah and Kaine seems to be growing out of control leaving people stuck in the middle. New York also has stepped in to the feud when it's leader grows power hungry forcing sides to be chosen, their motto is 'Death Before Dishonor'. Ajani and Kaine's love story might be officially over, especially when mistakes are made and the past comes to light and sides are chosen out of lies and deceit. When it's all said and done only one side will remain and the California organization you all have grown to love might have just met its match.

Sounds simple enough right? WRONG. What happens when Ivory teams up with the brothers and this turns into a cat and mouse game between bonds and blood?
