Rikki Ortega, a cunning young dealer in Los Angeles’ east‑side “Ánglio,” seeks to become the street king. Borrowing Shakespeare’s Richard III ambition, he plots against older brothers and a brother‑in‑law while the Rojas gang, tied to a Cabo meth empire, fights back. Rikki double‑crosses his family, plans to profit from a stolen 100 kg of crystal meth, seduces a victim’s girlfriend, and evades a police friend from childhood, all in a quest for “silver” over “lead.”
