Description
D.J. Hendrix is a charismatic and intelligent college grad ready to tackle the realities of adulthood. He returns home to enjoy one last summer in familiar surroundings before beginning his grind in the real world. However, things seldom go according to plan. After linking up with his childhood friends, his world takes an interesting turn and spins out of control as he finds himself at the center of a menacing money-making scheme. Though he has access to more cash than he'd ever imagined, things begin to worsen as growing troubles hit very close to home. He does his best to untangle the web of turmoil that he thrusts both his family and friends into but realizes he is no longer in control. As fate would have it, his future lays at the hand of one hard choice that has to be made. However, sacrificing your own life for another is a decision that few are prepared to make. The fact is that someone in "The League" has to go down. It's up to D.J. to decide who that someone is going to be.

Persons
50 Cent (a.k.a. Curtis Jackson) is a record-breaking rap recording artist, entrepreneur, music producer, and actor. His debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin', sold more than 12 million units worldwide, is certified eight times platinum, and was the basis for the semi-autobiographical film of the same title, in which he starred. He is the first artist to have four songs in the top ten of Billboard's Hot 100 since the Beatles in 1964. He published his memoir, the New York Times bestseller From Pieces to Weight, which was hailed as "cool, hard, and vivid, a minor classic of gangster rap noir" (The New York Times). He is also the author of Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter. Under the G-Unit brand, his business empire includes a record label, apparel and footwear ventures, vitamin water, and more. He created the nonprofit organization The G-Unity Foundation, which aims to better the life of urban youth. Follow him on X and Instagram at @50Cent.
