(Gangsta-lit)

Meet Big Mack, drug dealer from Marion, Indiana. Just one year out of prison, this aspiring rap artist is a realtor by day and drug dealer/cold-blooded killer by night. He’s funding his rap career with drug money. He’s tryin be a rap star. The only issue is this: he lives what he raps and he raps what he lives.

The fact that Mack is gaining success in the music business pushes the Task Force over the edge. They are determined to get him. Fed up with being outsmartied, they come up with a plan to bring Mack down for good.

They set him up in what is written to be the biggest cocaine bust in Grant County history. Once in jail, they think they got him. With the help of the Panamanian drug cartel, the jail can’t hold him. And once Mack is free… All Hell Breaks Loose!
