Blood First (Drama/Suspense)

Log line: Brothers’ love and loyalty to one another is tested by the code
of the streets.

Brief synopsis:  O and Rico may have different mothers but the blood of
their father, Raqmaan, a hustler, runs deep in their veins and creates a
bond between them that is unbreakable. When one of their associates thinks

must decide between abiding by the code of the streets or trying to save
themselves.
