Alexander Coates, a crime lord, controls his underworld empire with both sophisticated cunning and unrelenting force. His most trusted enforcer, Roman Hurst, dutifully carries out his boss's commands, rendering him unstoppable within the criminal organization. However, a power struggle ensues when a new and ambitious gang member, Ice Man, challenges Alexander's authority, seeking to usurp the throne and alter the balance of power. As Alexander grapples with the threat to his reign, he is forced to reconsider the loyalties within his circle, pondering the utility and allegiance of his seasoned right-hand man.

With his capability for violence diminished, Roman is pushed out into a city now caught in a vicious gang war. He stumbles upon a good-hearted waitress, Tanya, and her father, Taquito, both of whom are in desperate need of protection from the escalating violence. As Roman's sense of justice awakens and his desire for redemption grows, he must navigate a path to personal reformation, questioning whether he can overcome his past and intervene in the bloodshed without the force that once defined his identity.
