In the Eighties and Nineties, Wesley Evans, better known as Ruby, was
Brooklyn's wealthiest, longest reigning kingpin. Accomplishing all it
took to make history, including rubbing elbows with celebrities and
expanding his businesses out of state, he avoided all the bounties put
on his head and NYPD's handcuffs.
Ruby set the bar in Brooklyn, and when he finally became a legit family
man, he left behind rules that would ensure not only success, but also
humility, for the kings who would follow him.
1)Do not sell to pregnant women.
2)Do not sell to kids thirteen and under.
3)Respect the neighborhood elders.
4)Give back to the community twice a year.
Ten years later, each of Brooklyn's kingpins has followed in Ruby's
footsteps, making it out with their lives, freedom, and ridiculous
amounts of money. Life is good; Brooklyn's people are good--and then
Felix Brown, aka Straw, comes into power. Straw sucks Brooklyn dry. No
one is off limits, and following another man's rules is a no-go.
Living out his life stress-free in the Bahamas, Ruby receives a call
from his protégé, informing him of the deadly turn Brooklyn has taken
under Straw's control. Ruby had left that life alone, but how can he
continue living the good life when his home is in shambles? What kind of
king allows his kingdom to fall? Ruby's coming home. He thought he was
out, but he's not.
