Join in as C. N. Phillips paints a kingpin story the way it has never been done before. To some it will be a beautiful mural; to others it will be a brutal massacre. Ever since he was a child, the only thing Cyril Anderson has wanted is to be down with his brother Cane's crew. Cane Anderson, leader of the notorious Bankroll Crips, is invincible--or so Cyril thinks. On an important night for Cyril, things take a terrible turn, and Cane is left lying in a pool of his own blood. Now the leader of a bloodthirsty gang, Cyril wants to do only one thing: seek revenge.

When he learns that the man behind Cane's death is none other than Arnell "Dub" Lewis, the current kingpin of Los Angeles, it is up to Cyril to figure out why. He begins a bloody journey to redemption with a heart as black as the night sky and with a team of loyal hitters behind him.
