Chris Howard walked away from a life of crime he never wanted to return to, turning his back on a dangerous lifestyle that would have put him in jail or six feet deep. He left behind his family and the woman he loved in order to escape the clutches of the violent city streets. Years later, his worse fear brings him back home to the very place that nearly consumed him. Shawn, his younger brother, has been sucked into the criminal underworld only to find himself on the hit list of one of the city's most ruthless criminals. After an illegal weapons deal goes bad, Shawn's boss Dante Franklin-aka D-Frank, seeks retribution. With a crime boss of his own to answer to and his life on the line as well, D-Frank sends an assassin to collect the debt in full. The contract on his head sends Shawn running for his life and Chris racing against time to save him. Now, with the city's most highly decorated cop pursuing him and a criminal that will stop at nothing to gain control of the streets, Chris struggles with resurrecting the person he once was and fighting Temptations of Crime.
