After his father's death, Nickles took over the business. Now becoming a legend himself, he faces the same troubles and problems that his father faced. Nickles, however, thinks that he can manage the balance of the good in him versus the evil underworld he deals with in the streets, only to learn that it is a difficult task. Love, loyalty, money, enemies, and family become tangled in his quest to stay alive and protect it all.
