After the death of his mother Joshua 'J' Cody, a seventeen-years-old guy, moves to his estranged relatives. This is a criminal family, which consists of his grandma Janine ‘Smurf’ and her three sons known as the Cody boys. Andrew 'Pope' is the eldest son, earning a livelihood by armed robbery. The middle son called Craig succeeded as a drug dealer. And the youngest son Darren follows his elder brothers’ steps.

The situation around the family becomes very tense, when Barry Brown, the close friend and business partner of Andrew Cody, decides to leave their common business. He thinks, it is just the right time for him to do away with the drug dealing, as the times of their old good banditry are over. Barry’s resignation causes the strained relations of the family with the police.

Thus the young Joshua finds himself involved in the tensions between the Codys and the police. The police officer Nathan Leckie tries to lure the inexperienced youngster and use his confidence to suit his own ends – to conquer the Cody clan. And Joshua has to find his own place in this dramatic story and play his own game to survive.
