Upon discharge from the Army, Joe finds himself back home to his native streets of Rock City, N.C. With no money and a limited category of skills, Joe is forced to link up with old friends and continue what the military trained him to do. Young twins Ravern and Rashawn Battle, along with their childhood friend Corey Kendal, devise a plan to gain respect in the city. Starting off with petty thievery, they escalate their reign of terror and turn into heartless Stick-Up kids. With everything going smoothly, they experience turbulence when they attempt to rob Joe. Recognizing the hunger for power and respect in their eyes, Joe spares their lives and offers to train them how to kill. Joe finds himself back in his Army ways, training and leading a squad of assassins; except now he answers to no one, and is his own Commander. With Joe and Slain-U murdering everything with a pulse in Rock City, Their terror streak begins to bring commotion and unwanted attention to Cross' drug organization. With the help of Joe and Slain-U, Cross quickly rises to the top of drug-trade, but is haunted by everything and everyone who were sacrificed for him to get there.
