Plot: From Riches to Rackets
Mir and Raj Dar have lived the good life, thanks to their convenience store mogul father, Baba. Mir is the responsible, eager-to-impress son, while Raj is a laid-back pothead, happy to coast on the family’s wealth.
But their world shatters overnight when Baba suddenly dies, leaving them with nothing—except for the shocking revelation that their father wasn’t just a businessman.
Baba was secretly the head of a criminal underworld. 💀
Now, stripped of their luxury, the brothers must decide:
👉 Step into their father’s shoes and run his illicit empire
👉 Or risk losing everything—including their lives
As they navigate rival gangs, secret FBI investigations, and ruthless crime bosses, the once-clueless brothers must grow up fast—or get swallowed by the world their father built.
