New York International Latino Film Festival 2009

In a city of 9 Million people everyone is engulfed in the everyday rat-race chasing that almighty dollar. But history teaches us that behind every wealthy empire is a major crime; and "Carter's" rise to power is no exception. Trying to go legit, he is faced with deception, betrayal, and self serving agendas from those closest to him, mainly his live in girlfriend "Thaila". Little does “Carter” know that his girlfriend is cooperating with the FBI to build a case against him. "Cart’s" childhood friend and partner in crime "Uglyman" (Ug) is released from jail after 7 years. Ug, is now back in the picture again and begins to cause conflict with "Cart’s" new cohort "Dell" who has trouble trusting the loyalty of "Carter's" past crew. "Carter" must maneuver his way through all of those who want to see his empire crumble. As he determines who's friend or foe, the decisions "Carter" makes can and will cost lives.
