Zachary Strong is a gifted singer and musician who has what it takes to become successful in the entertainment industry. That all changes after his mother’s unexpected death shatters his whole world. Grief, anger and frustration ultimately leads Zack into the lucrative, but dangerous world of drug trafficking. Will Zack find the strength to get out of the drug game or will it consume him and take over his life?
