Synopsis
John “Golden” Mickens III, the grandson of the infamous Oakland pimp from the 1970s, is released from prison after serving a decade for a brutal assault. Determined to leave his past behind, Golden returns to a city that has changed, yet remains haunted by old demons. As Golden tries to rebuild his life, he is hit with the shocking news that his estranged daughter, Dana, has become entangled in a sinister human trafficking ring. Overwhelmed by guilt and driven by a fierce paternal instinct, Golden realizes that his past misdeeds have come back to haunt him in the most personal way possible. With the same street smarts and ruthless determination that once made him a feared figure, Golden embarks on a relentless mission to rescue his daughter and dismantle the operation plaguing Detroit. Along the way, he allies with former enemies and confronts the ghosts of his past, as he descends into the darkest corners of the city’s underworld.
