In a corrupt city, gang members are pressured into forming a secret crime-fighting unit, conceived by a local judge who aims to balance the scales of justice.
SYNOPSIS:
The judge has a vision to right the wrong of what he sees as the systemic injustice represented by the primarily young brown faces flooding his courtroom on a daily basis to be prosecuted. To that end he creates the N-W-G Learning Academy. Teaching young people who haven’t become too entrenched in gang life yet, technical skills and creative arts training to help them become productive citizens on the one hand, while using the street savvy fighting skills of hardcore gangsters to covertly fight crime on the covert side of the house. The recruits work their way up the ladder to finally land on the elite sanctions list, targeting ever bigger and badder criminals of all ilk, and/or social status, selected for sanction by the judge and his field proxy. When J.T. and his crew cross his radar for massacring a Colombian gang leader and his crew in a marijuana drug deal gone bad, their fate is sealed. Having witnessed his parents’ murder as a preteen, and recalling his fathers’ words quoting an investigative reporter that crack was a secret whack job on the black community as he eavesdrops on the conversation, J.T. feels their new N-W-G role is well suited to wage his war on crack, and exact revenge on those responsible for the crack epidemic that claimed his parents’ lives.
Having inherited his father’s reputation as a respected and well known marijuana dealer, J.T. runs his crew with the ruthless discipline and sobriety that survival on the streets and the drug trade demand, but is neither mean, cruel nor bloodthirsty in the execution of his business, nor in his application of justice.
Their skills are put to the test as the city’s crack drug kingpin, Short Mitch, looks to complete the take over of J.T.’s father’s territory, and eliminate the competition with the help of his ruthless main crack distributor, Bo. The two conspire with a Colombian gang leader, to eliminate J.T. and his crew during a planned marijuana drug deal between J.T. and the Colombian. But, J.T. and his crew manage to survive the plot and take out the Colombians, but unwittingly catch the eye of the judge, when they are ratted out as being those responsible for a warehouse full of dead Colombians.
The judge gives J.T. and his crew few choices other than to join his covert N-W-G crime fighting program, or face a prison term. J.T. soon realizes the value of their new resources, and comes to terms with their new role as covert crime fighters, and uses it to their advantage in his quest to find his parents’ killer, and also eliminate their crack competition, when an informant reveals to him it was Short Mitch and Bo who masterminded the Colombian double cross. During a poker game, J.T. bad mouths Bo as being a rat in front of Bo’s brother, and J.T. is forced to kill him when he attempts to draw on J.T.. The tensions mount, and Bo retaliates killing J.T.’s adopted uncle who raised and groomed J.T. to inherit his fathers business after his parents’ murder. Still thirsting for blood revenge, Bo kidnaps J.T.’s pregnant hip hop singing star girlfriend, and challenges J.T. to come rescue the only real family he has left, and face the music for killing his brother. J.T. manages to rescue his girlfriend from the waterfront warehouse shipyard, and eliminate one half of the competition with help from his sniper and ex-military specialist right hand man, Joey.
In between the turf war drama, they cruise the streets in their fleet of black classic muscle cars successfully adding all manner of violent street crime interventions to their list, continuing to impress the judge who elevates J.T.’s crew to the sanctions list. Their first assignment is to eradicate the city’s crack epidemic starting with Short Mitch and his crack empire.
They begin targeting his booming new crack sex club money makers, catering to exclusive VIP clientele, shutting them down one by one. His last and most prized creation is a newly constructed crack club fortress, that puts the N-W-G teams working in concert with drug task force and SWAT teams to the test, as they attempt to breach the club’s security, and in simultaneous raids take down the last club, Short Mitch’s secret crack processing lab in the hood, and having found out he killed his parents, J.T. leads the third prong of the raids on Short Mitch’s mansion, and has to struggle with either getting revenge for his parents’ deaths, or to follow orders and bring him in so they are able to follow the money to the top of the cocaine pipeline overseas. Wanting all those responsible to pay, J.T. chooses to follow the money to the source of the problem, and rip it out at the root. And, in lieu of not receiving a death sentence, Short Mitch gives up his Colombian cartel supplier, and J.T. and his crew prepare for their first international mission to capture or kill the Colombian cartel drug lord at his jungle compound, and rid the country of one of it’s most notorious drug lords.
Feared by many, but loved by many more, the new mask clad N-W-G mystery saviors of their community are born. Searching out criminals from the bottom to the top bringing them to justice wherever in the world the trail may lead. Whoever, wherever, whatever it doesn’t matter, it’s on!
