Rick Wershe is a single father who's struggling to raise two teenagers during the height of the crack epidemic in 1980s Detroit. Wershe sells guns illegally to make ends meet but soon attracts attention from the FBI.

When young Rick gets in too deep, he finds himself seduced by the lure of easy money and becomes a drug dealer himself.
