Based on a true story, this drama follows two brothers, Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory and Terry "Southwest T" Flenory, who rose from the streets of Detroit in the late 1980s and created one of America's most influential criminal enterprises known as the Black Mafia Family.

The charismatic leadership of Big Meech and the business acumen of Southwest T allowed them to form a partnership with a vision beyond the drug trade and into the world of hip-hop.
