Loyalty Ain't in the Handbook

Fresh on the run from a federal investigation, Nasir "Nas" King is finally captured and thrust into the fight of his life. Facing manufactured trafficking charges built on lies and coercion, Nas must survive the brutal Federal Detention Center while his pregnant fiancée Amira holds down their empire on the outside. With prosecutors desperate for a conviction and enemies spreading deadly rumors behind bars, Nas discovers that beating the streets was nothing compared to beating a system designed to destroy young Black men like him. When his partner Kelly Cortez is forced to take the witness stand, the government believes their case is sealed. But loyalty runs deeper than fear, and truth has a way of surfacing even in the darkest courtrooms. As Nas fights for his freedom with everything on the line - his woman, his unborn child, and future, he'll learn that sometimes the most dangerous battles aren't fought in the streets. They're fought in federal court, where the rules are rigged and justice isn't guaranteed. In the streets, Loyalty Ain't in the Handbook. But in federal court, neither is the truth.
