Two for Five is an in depth look into the hustle game of the early 80’s. A time when unemployment, poverty and drugs have devastated our inner cities and left many struggling to survive.

But three young brothers set their sights on rising above the poverty level by taking over the lucrative drug trade on the notorious streets of South Jamaica Queens.

After serving a five year bid for armed robbery, Niko, the main character, is recruited into a thriving street level operation by his childhood partners, Ming and Chase.

The stipulations of his parole require him to be gainfully employed but the growing crack epidemic offer profits beyond belief.

As the money flowed, so to did the drama and the cost of doing business on the merciless streets of Jamaica Queens is paid for with blood and an increased body count.

Violence, intimidation and murder are the tactics used to enforce the code of this crew.

You smoke, you buy, you live, you die…
