Top Boy (2011 – 2013)

Flush with cash thanks to a loan from Bobby Raikes, Dushane and Sully are living the high life in season one – enjoying a taste of wealth fueled by their burgeoning drug operation. But this newfound prosperity quickly unravels when a ruthless rival, Kamale, pulls off a daring heist, stealing their product and igniting a volatile chain reaction of gang violence. Caught in the crossfire is young Ra’Nell, just thirteen years old, whose life unexpectedly becomes entangled with the dangerous world of drugs after his mother's sudden hospitalization.

Having clawed his way to the top of the game, Dushane finds himself facing a formidable new threat: Sully, a former ally now partnered with a chillingly effective criminal. Their uneasy truce fractures completely when their mutual enemy, Kamale, turns up dead, instantly casting suspicion on both men. While 15-year-old Ra’Nell struggles to stay under the radar as he prepares for district youth squad trials, his friend Gem finds himself unable to escape the pull of a life far removed from any chance of redemption.
