This film is the true story of two young men, Wayne (played by Spragga Benz) and Bigs (played by Ky-Mani Marley), who grew up together in the tough and dangerous streets of Kingston. They rob a soda truck and shoot the truck's driver while still in their early teens. The money is used to purchase visa's to go to the United States, where they continue their criminal activities, hustling on the streets of Miami. Wayne gets deported to Jamaica and continues his surge in crime, where he begins to extort money from business people. Bigs gets deported a few years later. After a while, they both head back to the U.S. with some of their cronies and continue stealing, targeting drug dealers. The drug dealers decide to put up a strong resistance to the two.
