Heavy in the Game is a story about a hustler in the city of Los Angeles and his journey to the top of the drug business, only to find out that all that glitters is not gold once he gets in too deep and the streets become filled with envy.
Jayshawn King, better known as Youngster, has become a very successful hustler while trying to raise his son, Jay. However, an incident in his past continues to haunt him and may seal his fate. He travels through L.A. among the notorious street gangs and the epidemic of drug use while jealousy, envy, and murder are only some of the obstacles that lurks as he attempts to build his illegal earnings and get out of the game before becoming just another statistic locked away in jail or loses his life. Take a ride with Youngster and find out that it's not all about the fast money, sexy women, and material things when you're heavy in the game.
