Thomas Richard is what some call a genius. Born and raised in Inglewood, California, he grew up in a Blood neighborhood and was fascinated by the gang lifestyle. His cousin Blast was deeply involved with the Crenshaw Mafia Gangster Bloods and never wanted Thomas to partake in that gang lifestyle. Thomas accepted that, but deep in his heart, he still felt like he was a Blood.  

Thomas works for a high-tech computer company and uses his brilliance to excel at his job. While playing a slot machine app on his phone one day, he discovers a way to rig slot machines to give out the maximum payout. His life changes after he tests his theory and becomes an instant millionaire. He buys expensive jewelry for his fiancée and takes care of his family, and he still has more money than he can handle.   

Keeping the secret of his get-rich-quick scheme drives him crazy, so he decides to tell Blast—a mistake that turns his world inside out. Money, cars, lowriders, and the best of everything money can buy eventually lead to blackmail and culminate in murder . . . all because Thomas couldn’t keep a secret.
