Throughout life, we have heard groups, or should I say, cults that rebel against certain people, or the government, or religions. This is just another story telling another cult, only, this cult almost led to the extinction of human kind. This cult? They're called The Bears. A group of dark skinned human beings that have become fed up with the racism, they're people dying because cops feel like they can do whatever they want, the stereotypes. At first, I didn't blame them for wanting to come together. But now, life is almost nonexistent.
A criminal mastermind makes a bold move against a wealthy client to put himself in a position to retire in comfort. He has no idea what he's up against when a young widow, desperate to make ends meet, sets her eyes on earning the bounty set on his head.
