Part 3/7:
As the story unfolds, eyes widen to the stark reality that the characters’ lives are intertwined with crime, power struggles, and violent retribution. When a couple of characters face literal and moral dilemmas leading to a tragic event involving fatalities, Rick's desperate attempts at clarifying his innocence become tangled with his association with drug dealers and dishonest friends. Their associations echo the desperation found in underworld dealings—where loyalty often comes at a premium but can disappear without notice.
