t is 2003 and Corey Carter is innocently playing his usual pickup game of basketball on the school grounds when he suddenly hears, "Pop, pop, pop!" As soon as a body drops, Corey jumps a fence and heads to his grandmother's house. After a witness sends the police to his home, Corey's grandmother decides to send him to live with his mother who has recently been released from prison in Arizona.
As Corey attempts to adjust to his new existence in gangland, he hangs out at the local Boys and Girls Club where he learns the color of an outfit can be the difference between life and death. While he becomes educated on the gangbang, Corey gets an up-close, personal reality check regarding fast money and all that comes with it. As play time ends, friends turn into enemies, and trust transforms into an illusion, Corey becomes immersed in a grown man's game. Now time will tell who will win when the last man is standing.
In this urban tale, a young man becomes the freshest kid on the block when he moves from California to gangland Arizona where he must navigate the streets to survive.
