2. A Hood Story

Colin and D鈥檚 gangster film gathers unlikely stars and fresh ambition, but the criminal world they鈥檙e trying to escape is already pulling them back in.

As Colin and D begin turning their prison-written script into a real production, they recruit former pop stars and emerging actors, building a cast captivated by the promise of an authentic Black British crime story. Their film starts to feel like a genuine cultural moment. But most of the cast and crew are unaware of the true story behind the pair or their journey to becoming film-makers.

Beneath the excitement of the production, the money, power, and instincts that built 鈥淟ove of Money鈥� are still very much in play. When D鈥檚 commitment to turning away from crime is tested, he is drawn back to familiar instincts.
