The story follows Juju and Slim, brothers navigating a world where loyalty is often tested.

As the narrative unfolds, the brothers are forced to confront the violent legacy surrounding them and decide whether to fight for a different future.

A New Creative Venture

The film marks a significant creative project for Berner, who serves as both a writer and co-director alongside Alex Ferrufino. Known widely for his work in music and as a prominent entrepreneur, Berner brings a distinct perspective to this feature-length production. The cast includes Reed Shannon, TJ Atoms, Christopher A’mmanuel, and Hazel Green.

With a runtime of 93 minutes, the film is rated R for pervasive language, drug use, sexual content, and violence. The release aims to capture the intensity of urban survival stories, grounding the drama in the personal stakes of its central characters.
