As the highest-grossing drug dealer on Denver&’s south side, he&’s attracted the attention of the Denver Narcotics unit. When he realizes he&’s being tailed by a member of the DPD, instead of lying low till the heat dies down, he does what he always does: the exact opposite of what he should.

Twelve years ago he lost his brother to drugs, and secretly riddled with guilt, he&’s fought obsessively to eradicate them ever since.
