Synopsis: This is a heart throb called Court in the Streets that takes place in Durham, North Carolina. Santonio and Jason Parker are cousins who are living the high life. They're responsible for seventy percent of the city's heroin. Competition is none, and money isn't an object. Life couldn't get any better, but the fairytale ends when a string of home invasions turn their lives upside down. Amia Parker, Santonio's sister, finds herself a victim of a home invasion and a brutal rape. When she identifies Curtis Atkins, one of the cousins' workers, as one of the robbers, the cousins vow to hold court in the streets. Michael Bynum is a homicide detective that's assigned to several cases that the cousins are suspected of. Like every other crime that they are suspected of, the evidence almost does not exist. The likelihood of a conviction is unlikely, so the detective takes matters in his own hands in attempt to end the cousins' spree. When series of events bring on deadly reactions, the cousins find themselves fighting for their lives in more than one way. Not only are the State and Feds after them, they also have an enemy from the past that's determined to beat the agencies to the punch; but in his own little sick way. This isn't a story that glorifies violence and drug dealing, this is a story that shows you the other side of the game and how it affects everybody.
