The Show

We begin each show from the inside of a jail cell with a narration told documentary style by Tyrone, who is angry and as harsh as they come. He has a street smartness that is uncommon and he reads a lot as a result of being in jail. His anger at the system gets the best of him at times as he tells the story from his jaded point of view. And we see how his brother Earl has many of his traits but fights against his nature as he is engage in the thug life. As the show on folds and we see the raw way the story is told and the very real nature of life in the hood, we wonder how Earl will actually get away from this life in the hood and if that life will suck him in like the vortex of drain sucking everything down with it.
 
 
We follow Earl as he wonders where his choices lie. Perhaps after all we don’t choose our lives at all, our lives choose us. So now with the void of power, while Tyrone is in jail we see an upcoming turf war that will force him to choose between his new life or his family. The Nest… a riveting and shockingly realistic depiction of the gangster life in the ‘hood, and those who want no parts of it.
