For Mike Black and his organization, protecting their businesses from jealous rivals is nothing new. This time, however, things are getting personal. Freeze, a longtime member of the organization is dead, and Nick is having a hard time dealing with it. Mike gives him a simple job to keep his mind occupied: deliver money to help out a grieving grandmother. But when Nick visits the woman and learns that her granddaughter's death has been written off by law enforcement as a drug-related death, he is called to action. He vows to investigate Tatiana's death, unaware of the danger that awaits him.
Meanwhile, Mike has returned from a long hiatus to head the organization along with his sidekick and confidant, Bobby Ray. Feeling the heat and fearing he will end up like Freeze, Mike is trying to set things in place so he can finally get out of the game, but it seems no one wants to make it easy for him. Between DEA agents, dirty cops, and hustlers after his territory, Mike has to be smart about how he makes his exit.
