Recently released from prison, Malik (Omar Epps), a feared gang leader from Chicago's West Side, returns home determined to avenge the murder of his closest friend, Sayeed. His loyal right-hand, Mike (Corey Hendrix), tries to hold their crew together as hotheaded members like 2wo 3ree (Wiz Khalifa) and Meechie (Skilla Baby) push for retaliation. His grandmother, a god-fearing woman who raised him, leaves Malik a small icon of St. Moses the Black -- whose story begins to shadow him with visions he can't ignore. As rival gangs -- led by a ruthless leader (Quavo) -- and a corrupt cop (Cliff Chamberlain) close in, and with the streets edging toward all-out war, Malik must confront a past that refuses to let go -- and the most dangerous threat of all: the enemy within.
