Jesus is a low level drug dealer working for Bodega (EMILIO RIVERA), and is anxiously awaiting the shipment of ten bricks of cocaine, knowing full well the potential wrath of the drug kingpin and his right-hand man, Rhino (LOBO SEBASTIAN), should anything go wrong.
For Brody and Guch, the unexpected delivery is a like a gift from Heaven. Realizing the cash potential of their new possession, Brody calls his drug dealer cousin, Shavoo (OMARI HARDWICK), to see if he's interested in buying that. Arriving with his right-hand man, known only as "Buddy" (DARIUS McCRARY), Shavoo agrees to return in two hours with a satchel of money to complete the transaction.
But things quickly become complicated when he learns someone his stolen his stash of cash, while Bodega isn't happy to hear that Jesus apparently doesn't have the shipment. With the latter figuring Leo must have stolen it, he and Chita set out to find him and the drugs, all of which sets the stage for a big showdown at the end.
Violence involves a big shootout and fight where many people are killed or wounded (mostly gunfire but knives are also used), the beating and roughing up of others in various scenes (including using a cigar to burn someone's face), and the barely off-screen cutting out of a man's tongue (we see it being held).
That violence has bloody results, and it's possible those scenes could be unsettling and/or suspenseful to some viewers, but not all of them are always played realistically. Some of the action and other behavior might be enticing for some kids to imitate, while all sorts of bad attitudes are present.
Drug use (pot, cocaine) occurs, while the possession and attempted sale of coke drives the main plot. Drinking is also present, as is some smoking, while there are a few instances of crude humor.
