In this inspirational story based on true events, Brandon, an ex-convict, takes you on a journey from his childhood dreams of being an NBA star to his choice as a teenager to be the ultimate hustler in the North Carolina streets of Chapel Town. After the unfortunate split of his parents, the allure of the drug game sets in. Determined to be able to provide for his family, Brandon quickly rises in the ranks of the drug game to selling kilos of cocaine at a very young age, all while trying to make his exit from a street hustler to a legit entrepreneur. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. After years of dodging life-ending experiences, corrupt cops, and phony friends, Brandon decides to pursue college for a career in business, but not before his life spirals out of control when he is indicted by the federal government and convicted for a non-violent federal drug conspiracy and sentenced to 188 months in federal prison. After becoming the victim of unfair and unequal punishment due to the federal government’s racially biased '100/1 crack versus powder cocaine sentencing disparity,' Brandon realizes that the path he had chosen was full of unknown dangers. Still, it wasn’t too late to make the right turn. However, his only revenge would be success. After almost 12 years in federal prison, Brandon shares the wisdom and knowledge obtained while incarcerated that led to his immediate release from prison four years early and turned him into a motivated and successful entrepreneur upon his release. After many mistakes, failures, trials, and tribulations, Brandon escapes the allure of the drug game and street life. Through his story, based on actual events, he hopes to deter the next teenager from being another statistic in the legal system. He also gives incarcerated individuals a blueprint for properly preparing themselves for a smooth transition back to society.
