Late one summer night on the West Side of Chicago, where gangs rule the streets with unrelenting ruthlessness, LEE "JUICE" WILLIAMS, a gang leader in his own right, meets up with his plug to purchase a brick of coke. Will the deal go down without drama? Or will this transaction be marred by unforeseen trouble? Juice, like many of the opps in his hood, settles his beefs with gunfire. But he's going to have to use smarts to become THE BRICK MAN he aspires to be. In a city of no mercy and no forgiveness, will Juice learn to navigate the many mine fields that threaten to end his kingpin dreams before they come to life? Or will his gun lead him wealth beyond anything he has ever imagined?
