Opis

In a society in which the laws of the land seem to protect the criminals over their victims, someone must bring hope to the hopeless by any means necessary. For years, the law has been after the Drug Starr Cartel, which flourishes like a Fortune 500 company. They operate on street corners, in bars, schools, churches, nightclubs and brothels throughout the state. The wares they sell inflict social, economic, mental and or physical deaths to their victims. The goal of their kingpin, Royam, is to become a coast-to-coast operation, and that's only the beginning. The residents, hostages in their own homes, are afraid to sit on their porches or steps from early evening to the next daylight. There are a few blocks that are under siege 24/7. The cocaine epidemic has increased the crime rate, specifically robberies and break-ins, to an all time high. Our youth, watching in the wings, are lured into this world with the promise of quick money, cars and power. Wanting the respect of women and their peers, our youth seem to have no fear of a quick and senseless death. It's hard to convince those young males to go work for $5.50 an hour when they observe their buddies making $500.00 for an 8-hour shift. Who will stand up to these villains who also seem to have the city government in their back pocket? Lenny B and So Good, the Blackavellian Knights, have taken up the cause. What's ironic about these anti-heroes is that Lenny B and So Good were previously gang members and drug dealers, so they understand both sides of the coin. So Good experimented with drugs, but only Lenny B became addicted to different substances or people. He hustled with the best of them until he got -caught up- with his own product. The odyssey has taken Lenny B to hell and his passage back was only granted by the grace of God. He is his own protagonist and antagonist. Like many of us, he is his own worst critic and enemy. There is also a spiritual tug of war going on for Lenny B's soul as he fights the same God that protects him. So Good is Lenny B's best friend from childhood and is a free spirit. So Good always possessed the ability to say enough is enough. He has been closer than a brother to Lenny B and has never judged him throughout any of his trials and tribulations. So Good would die for Lenny B as Lenny B would for So Good.
