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 stem the tide of what he sees as the systemic injustice represented by the school to prison pipeline of 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, and to conceal using the street savvy fighting skills of hardcore gangsters to secretly 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 who keeps track of the recruits’ intervention progress through his field monitors, and reports back to the judge.

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.

After witnessing his parents’ murder as a preteen, when J.T. and his crew catch the eye of the judge who suspects they’re responsible for a warehouse full of corpses after a botched drug deal, he recruits them as N-W-G crime fighters in lieu of a prison sentence. Once J.T. comes to terms with the idea he decides to use their new resources as covert crime fighters to seek out his parents’ killer.

Unsuccessful in his first attempt, Short Mitch, the city’s crack drug kingpin decides once again to complete his take over of J.T.’s fathers’ territory with the help of his main distributor Bo, and sets up the double cross responsible for the botched drug deal between J.T. and a Colombian gang leader. Once J.T. finds out the truth it gives him new incentive to respond in kind in also looking to eliminate his competition. Inevitably, as Short Mitch’s right hand man, J.T. and Bo enter into a deadly tit for tat struggle that greatly damages and cuts deeply into both their crews and their lives.

In between their struggles, J.T. meets Cathy an up and coming Hip Hop artist on her way to a successful singing career. When she asks, he’s truthful with her, she accepts who he is, and J.T. and his pit bull X agree she’s a keeper. They fall in love, and soon after she becomes pregnant adding another level of concern to J.T.’s life, as Bo ruthlessly searches for any weakness in J.T.’s defenses to exploit.

In between it all J.T. keeps his crew on track cruising the streets in their black on black classic muscle cars racking up successful street crime interventions, (some ending in satirical comedic justice), satisfying their program objectives and closer to their release from the program. Their progress lands them on the elite sanctions list and their first sanction. To eradicate the city’s crack epidemic starting with Short Mitch and his crack empire. Short Mitch is left to rally his resources in an attempt to survive the onslaught, as he watches his empire begin to crumble. After shutting down his most prized creation, a newly constructed metal and steel, technology surveilled crack sex club fortress catering to VIP clientele, and his secret crack processing lab in the hood, J.T. leads the third prong of the raids on Short Mitch’s mansion, having found out it was Short Mitch who killed his parents and has to struggle with either getting revenge for his parents’ deaths, or to follow orders and bring him in so they can follow the money to the top of the cocaine pipeline overseas. Displaying growth and constraint, (and a growing new respect in seeing the good their efforts have made in helping to clean up their community), J.T. chooses to follow the money and rip out the root at it’s source. And, their next chapter sees J.T. and his crew embark on 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 and 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!
