In this urban version of Scarface, Fleetwood captures the southern culture on a cross-country suspense full of love and rage driven by childhood revenge only a father could understand and only a family could appreciate. Rudy was a country boy who got scared at a young age by racist America. After a traumatic incident, he dedicated his life to never allowing anyone to disrespect him or who he loved ever again. He had his precious daughter Belize by his first love Mary Ann, who he had met while they both were in the Air Force together. She left Rudy when she discovered he was a heroin kingpin and not a postal worker, as he made himself out to be every morning when he left for work. Mary Ann took Belize with her when she left Rudy. It took a toll on him, but he continued his game plan to get money and someday get back at those racist people from his past. Rudy was Belize's hero, and if you see her today she will tell you very proudly, "My daddy was uh mobsta."

When Maj. William Horton, the first English resident of Jekyll Island, arrived in Georgia in 1736, it is unlikely that he could have imagined what the future held for the untamed barrier island. By 1800, the island was fully owned by Christophe Poulain duBignon, whose family ran a cotton plantation on the island until 1886, when it was sold for $125,000 to a newly formed hunting and recreation club. The Jekyll Island Club would transform the island over the next half century into the idyllic vacation spot of today. Now a Georgia state park, Jekyll Island has managed to retain much of its unique ambience and continues to captivate those who cross through its iconic gates.
