As he eliminates his rivals, White also hatches a philanthropic scheme to use his newfound wealth to improve a local hospital in his old neighborhood.

However, White's power struggles don't only involve rival drug dealers. A group of corrupt police officers decide to take him down, seeing him as a threat to their own illicit activities.
