One man's efforts to get ahead on the streets lead him into a life of danger in this hard-hitting urban
drama from

Beans (

Beans steps to the wrong side of the law and begins selling drugs. Forming a crew with his friends and fellow gangsters called the ABM ("All 'Bout the Money"),
Beans and his partners soon become the new rulers of Philly's underground economy. But with success comes competition, and
Untouchable J (

Beans' wife as targets.
