Synopsis

Don't let the bright lights of the Sears Tower fool you. This is Englewood, Chicago, known to most as "Chiraq," an infested gangland captured under the thumb of a vicious dictatorship. Unlike any other major city, the control of the streets doesn't lie in the conniving hands of the city's top cops or politicians. In plain view, the city is controlled by the iron fist of over two hundred thousand religiously dedicated Gangster Disciples, BDs, Vice Lords, and Black P. Stones. Only the people of high society who reside in the downtown area are barely safe. But within the surrounding districts, suicidal pawns dominate their gang territories, not using common sense but reverting to assault rifles to settle their different views and disagreements, causing the citizens of Chicago to live in constant fear. There in the midst of the gang infestation stood a young, curious, and malleable ten-year-old Englewood kid named Jimmy, better known as Jay. Once left behind by his family, feeling abandoned, Jay took to the allure of the "street life," opposed to the golden teachings and directions of his stern father. No longer exhausting his mental energy behind unanswered questions like "Why my momma leave me?" with his mind made up, along with a grudge and a chip on his shoulder, Jay, with high street ambition, set out to be King of a world that assured only one thing: all kings eventually wake up with their heads cut off! This is the unflattering true story of Jimmy Jones Jr.
