Desperate for a new life and eager to jumpstart Jodi’s singing career, they decide to commit a crime together, but their plan quickly goes sideways.

Thinking they have made it through the worst of it, Jodi and Eddie have unknowingly unleashed a spiraling chain of events that quickly makes them the target of a ruthless family run crime organization, with Jodi’s boss Wally (Damon Wayans, “Lethal Weapon”) at the center. Mama (Pam Grier, “Foxy Brown”) and her son James (Jeremie Harris, “Legion”) will stop at nothing to find out what went wrong.
