When we say black lives matter, that doesn't mean that your life and all other lives don’t matter. We just want you to see that our lives are in jeopardy every day because of the color of our skin. So please, if ALL lives matter to you then BLM shouldn’t be a problem for you.Armon, Armond, Armondo, and Armoni are four brothers from Detroit Michigan. Born and raised in an era where racism still exists, they try to stay on a clear path and pursue their dreams. It's 2020, and the Corona virus has dimmed the future of the Country. Living in one of the most dangerous cities, Detroit is filled with corrupt and unjust law enforcement officers. Four educated black men, with no criminal records and no history of violence, each find themselves trying to bury the hatred inside of them when their brother Armondo is murdered by the police.
After the death of Armondo reality sets in that, if they don't fight, justice will never be served for him. With Detroit's police department keeping the accused officer’s on their payroll, it only infuriates Armoni.
Being the youngest he always felt he had to prove himself, he took the death of his brother as an opportunity to fight against police brutality by starting an organization called “BLACK.”
Armon and Armond took the death of their brother as an opportunity to help others in similar situations, together they fight for racial equality while shining the light on police brutality. As the brothers take on more cases of police brutality at their family-owned firm, they find themselves in a battle with many police officers. It’s up to the three brothers to try to bring a change to their city, or get pulled into the corruption that awaits them.
