Synopsis

Jamison "Kango" Watts was once known as an invisible man, a quiet "fixer" who always got the job done with clean hands and cash in his pocket. Now he's living the quiet life in DC, running a soul food restaurant. When he learns about an old friend's death, Kango returns to Brooklyn for the wake.and barely survives after a masked gunman puts two slugs in him. Someone has a score to settle, a beef Kango can't afford to bring back to his new life in DC. Caught between a crew of arsonists who go after historical landmarks, an old lover who is now married with children, and confronting the moment that led to his self-imposed exile from New York, Kango doesn't realize there is one enemy at the center of it all.
