Tommy can be seen introducing himself to some of the movers and shakers in the Chicago drug game. After being asked if he’s clocking the city, Tommy counters by asking if it will be a problem. Tommy is then told to stick around and find out, and of course, he takes the bait and decides to do what he does best — close deals and move product through the city.

Along the way he encounters a few enemies and a possible love interest. Killing is a sport to Tommy and it’s something that he does well when needed. Tommy can be seen shooting at various adversaries, while getting deeper in the game to fulfill his quest of being the No. 1 drug dealer in Chicago.
While it’s clear that Tommy has a target on his back, his adversaries are starting to realize that he is not one to play with. And although he’s rolling full steam ahead with his new career prospects, his past still seems to have a hold on him. Tommy can be seen looking at a photo of himself, his late girlfriend (Lala Anthony) and her son Cash (Denim Roberson).
