Summary:
April 28, 2015, West Baltimore, Maryland. As looters and arsonists lay waste to already blighted parts of Baltimore following the death of Freddie Gray, approximately 100 million dollars worth of narcotics are stolen from pharmacies and two of the city's brightest students, with ties to Maryland's BGF (Black Guerrilla Family) are planning to flood the city with highly addictive pain pills and heroin. Their plan is to use their gang connections and computer programming skills to set up a high tech drug delivery service and Dark Web marketplace. They became America's youngest drug lords, in the process sparking bloody gang warfare and a nationwide wave of addiction and murder.
