When his wife, Desiree, is found murdered, all fingers point to Big K's enemies in the streets. But that may be just the way the killer wants it to seem. Detective Brice Simpson sets out to find the killer just like with any other case. But Detective Simpson soon finds himself up against some of the hood's most dangerous people, some of whom he grew up with. With his loyalties being tested, Detective Simpson soon realises that no matter how street smart he is, no one in the hood can be eliminated as a suspect in Desiree's murder.
