Synopsis

Miami is my town, but around here, even hip hop legends get blind-sided by the price of fame. We realise nothing lasts forever, and some of us, you know, we had to learn betrayal the hard way. I thought we moved past this, nah, cause in this city, the more things change, the more they stay the same. We still dealing with the loss, the betrayal. The race to the top just keep getting harder. All that matters now if that we still got the will to fight, cause in a city like Miami it might be hard to start over, but its never too late.

—  Trick Daddy, opening monologue
