After the Umbrella Men's successful heist, Jerome, Morty, Mila, Keisha and Auntie Val are moving up in the world. Life is sweet. But that's when the scheming Tariq gets news that the cash used to pay off the Goema Club's debt has turned out to be counterfeit. Seems that the wily Tendeka has double-crossed them all. And before long, Tariq has Jerome, Marty and Tiger rounded up by the cops and banged up in the recently reopened Robben Island Prison.
