DEALING… PRODUCING…
    ALL IN A DAY’S WORK FOR A DRUGLORD.
        OR IN HOLLYWOOD.


Ruined and on the lam, former drug kingpin Max Fisher stumbles upon the

Meanwhile, a certain femme fatale from his past is pursuing a comeback dream of her own, setting herself up in Hollywood as producer of a series based on her and Max’s life story. But even in La-La Land, happy endings are hard to come by, especially with both the cops and your enemies in the drug trade coming after you…
