His name is going to ring out on them Harlem streets like it did before he got locked up. He can't wait to team back up with his brother. Together, they're going to be unstoppable.

But Drako has other ideas. He's not interested in stepping back into his older brother's shadow. And he doesn't want any sort of illegal business in or around his club. He's done with that life.

Harlem won't be big enough for the both of them.

Either one of them is going to have to die. Or one of them is going to have to leave
