Only The Smart Survive: Smoke In The City

Shreveport, Louisiana. Known by many as Ratchet City is where five brothers from different mothers, Trey, Tee, Ello, Julius, and Lil John were born and raised. They grew up as normal, respectable young men. Staying away from the streets and the lifestyle which surrounded them each day, until one incident happens that draws them in so deep that there’s no turning back. This one incident causes an avalanche of violent chaos throughout the city which involves numerous casualties in the process. Life changing decisions have to be made by boys who have barely scratched the surface into manhood. Before it’s too late. What will the outcome be when the smoke finally clears? Will the brothers prevail and become the men they were destined to be? Or will the streets chew them up and spit them out like they do most young brothers from the hood? Everyone learns that there’s no love in the streets. Some just learn the hard way and by the time most learn it be too late. In today’s society it’s not just about who’s the baddest. Because the penitentiary and the graveyards are filled with victims of proving that point. In this world we live in right now you gotta be able to think. And I’m talking, think fast. Don’t believe the hype. Only The Smart Survive!
