Cleveland Delancey and Casey Harbaugh might look like two regular guys attending the Lewis-Tyson fight in Memphis. Not exactly. Cleveland is a powerful businessman in financial markets in California and the South, and Casey is a recently retired Atlanta homicide detective. The two men met three years earlier when Cleveland's nephew was killed in Atlanta by a Georgia based drug-dealing gang. In Memphis, Cleveland accidentally meets the exotic, stunning Sonia Gacha, only to find she is married to Mexican drug lord Luis Obrego Gacha, also in town for the fight. A recent mistake by one of Gacha's henchmen opens the door for his arrest by the DEA and temporary lockup in Memphis County. Luis is quickly targeted by a black inmate gang and killed inside. Is it random racial violence or a hit called by Luis' vicious, scheming brother, Manuel?
