At just 18, CJ is ready to leave the streets of DC behind, carrying $7,000 and a plan to start fresh in Brooklyn and study journalism. But when his estranged father unexpectedly returns and steals the money, CJ’s escape spirals into danger—captured by Fat Slime’s crew and facing deadly consequences. In a twist, his father rescues him during a violent shootout, revealing he’d gone into hiding to protect CJ and used the money to take down Slime. With a second chance in hand and $10,000 to his name, CJ boards a Greyhound at sunrise, vowing never to look back.
