Some say the bond between father and son is more powerful than any religion. Jolee Exum Sr. and the son he shares his name with whom everyone calls Jaytwo, prove this theory to be correct. Jolee Sr. is the big man in his Los Angeles neighborhood who makes his living running a tight organization of number runners and loan sharks in the 1960's. All hell breaks loose when Jolee's best friend and freshly appointed business partner, Paul Carter, who is also Jaytwo's godfather decides that he isn't getting a big enough piece of the pie Jolee created. Paul plots to extort money from Jolee by kidnapping the mother of Jolee's only grandchild, but Paul is left without a hostage once his plan takes an unexpected turn and Jaytwo pays the price for his godfather's greed with his life. Jolee's murderer for hire cousin, Banks and Jet, the mother of his grandchild, were also killed in Paul's master plan that went wrong. Now that Jolee is the only adult his young granddaughter Taalyn has, he takes her across the earth to St. Barth's where they start a new life. Paul is now stuck with no money and a dead trail to Jolee who he feels owes him since his kidnapping plan failed. Paul is determined to get what he feels is rightly his no matter what it takes.
