A story of a black family that migrated from the South to Chicago in the 1920s. One of the family members, a teen named Ace was taken under the wing of a notorious huster and taught lessons in the games of street hustling and racketeering to take over the operations ran by the biggest Italian and Irish mobsters. While Ace ran the street business, his brother Charlie Boy lived out his ambition of being a famous musician playing in clubs from Chicago to New York in establishments that were not too welcoming to black artists at the time. It's a story of survival, wit and taking lessons learned and overcoming obstacles unheard of by blacks at that time.
