Seasons
Season 1 (2003)
In the inner-city community of Moccasin Flats, Dillon Redsky has to survive one last summer before he gets out of the ghetto and goes to university to pursue his dreams of becoming a basketball star. Unfortunately for Dillon, some people don't want to see him succeed. Dillon's childhood friend, Jonathan, a local gangster and pimp, tries to make Dillon's life a nightmare when he falls for one of his sex workers and tries to get her off the streets.
Season 2 (2004)
Jonathan has given up his life of pimping and drug dealing in order to be reunited with his girlfriend and son. He is working hard to turn his life around and be a good father and boyfriend, but when his debts start piling up, the temptations of ghetto life get the better of him. He decides to use his home-based vitamin company as a cover for a crystal meth operation and run the other drug dealers out of the neighborhood.
Season 3 (2006)
Now that Jonathan has cleaned up his act, a new pimp has taken over and there is an influx of very young girls working the streets of Moccasin Flats. When the cops continually turn a blind eye to these dead or beaten youngsters, Candy, a local social worker, launches her own investigation—risking her own life as she tries to find the pimp and get him put behind bars.
