14-year-old Jeremy Washington is threatened by neighborhood bully Lil' G. RaShawn gets someone to purchase an airsoft gun from a local store, in hopes it will protect him from Lil' G and his gang. RaShawn, Jeremy's older brother, intervenes and takes the gun out of Jeremy's hands. A local shop owner frantically calls the police thinking the gun is real. The police arrive and RaShawn is shot five times. The guilt and grief of RaShawn's death weighs on his brother Jeremy's shoulders. Jeremy's life spirals out of control after he links up with Lil' G and decides to get the shop owner back for snitching on him. Jeremy is subsequently arrested after his brother's funeral for arson and destruction of property.
