Newark, New Jersey, District Attorney Anthony Jacobs is confident of the witnesses and associates he has gathered to testify and vows to bring to justice Bernard James, Jr., Newark's most notorious gangster.
James, also known in the streets as "Dutch," is noted to be the most dangerous criminal to come up in Jersey in the last thirty years. From his experience and skill as a young car thief, Dutch recognized the opportunity to become the ruler of the streets and seized it.
Feared by all, and completely fearless, Dutch and his dangerous clique take over the lucrative heroin trade from the clutches of Nigerian drug lord Ojiugo Kazami. With both the respect and protection of the Italian Mafia, Dutch becomes the most terrifying force on the streets.
Now he's on trial for allegedly masterminding what the press has dubbed "The Month of Murder," a brutal, thirty-day, killing spree where none were spared. With Dutch facing multiple life sentences and a possible death penalty, the streets are in a mixed uproar of celebration and dread. Will this be the end of Dutch's reign of terror or just the beginning?
It's one month before Dutch's trial for what the media has deemed "the Month of Murder," Roc and Angel are locked up, and Craze is now the commander in charge. After coming into contact with Joseph Odouwo, Kazami's very rich and powerful relative, Craze is immediately on alert. However, Odouwo has other plans that may put all of their lives at risk. Craze can't resist a stake in Odouwo's very successful billion-dollar diamond trade, and reluctantly takes Odouwo up on his offer, hoping that he didn't make a decision he will soon regret.
