The Bottom

What does it really mean to start from The Bottom?

For Kadeem Barnes, aka KB... it's not just a place...it's a mindset. And in Clarksvegas, Tennessee, only the hungry climb out.

KB is a young man about to graduate high school with grown-man ambitions. Most of the city knows him as an all-star basketball player with unlimited options for college, and even the potential to go pro. But in the streets? He's quietly pushing product, stacking his bread, and plotting his way outta the bottom. His circle is smaller than a cheerio, with his friends, Tion and Lamar, beside him. Together, they're grinding for more than survival.

But climbing outta the bottom is easier said than done.

Every king has a rival in different forms ready to take him out. You just don't know what form they'll appear.

And soon, temptation becomes one of KB's biggest obstacles.

Cindy, the quiet 'Cinderella' nobody notices, looks to be his peace, offering to give her all to him.

Ciana, the eye of everyone in school, is determined to use her beauty and body to lock KB down.

Toya, a woman seeking to make her own come up in the game, has plans for KB that could put him on, and she'll be damned if anyone gets in the way of what, or who, she wants.

And when a powerful drug lord, Rivera Diaz, sets her eyes on KB...the gloves are off.

As love, lust, and ambition collide, KB lands in the center of a dangerous game. Loyalty is tested and one wrong move can cost him everything he's quietly worked to build.

From car washes to club nights, from high school gyms to cartel connects, the city's watching.

Everyone has their eye on the top, but in order to get there...you have to make it outta THE BOTTOM...
