He’s smart, he’s handsome, he’s dangerous . . . He is the Black Godfather, and dope pushers beware!  

Grimm’s childhood wasn’t unlike any of the other kids in his dirt-poor neighborhood: hard times and hard lives. However, while his best friends, Spoon and Goldie, were out getting into mischief, Grimm was in the house, studying or reading. 

After a fast-tracked graduation, Grimm enlisted in the Marines. He endured seven years trapped in a South American prison camp, subject to torture, starvation, and, most notably, a deadly underground fighting circuit. By the time he was rescued, he emerged as a 210-pound weapon of mass destruction.  

Upon Grimm’s return, he finds that his neighborhood has changed. His mother is a broken shell of her former self. His best friend Spoon is now an up-and-coming hustler and pimp, and Goldie has become a prostitute. 

It’s up to Grimm to fix his family and his community. He embarks on a mission to push some of the low-level dealers and users out of the neighborhood with the help of some of his veteran buddies. Grateful neighbors start referring to him as the “Black Godfather” because of the way he takes care of his people.  

This sets the scene for a confrontation between Grimm and Spoon. The two once best friends are now bitter rivals, locked in a personal war in the streets. It’s a long and hard-fought battle, but it’s only the beginning of a greater war.
