description: Synopsis for Against the Grain Boo and Moe are brothers who's father died of a drug overdose when they were very young. Raised by a tough mother and her new companion Rufus, the boys grow up to be street-wise, hardened individuals who eventually form their neighborhood's toughest street gang. Toughness was their gang's mantra, and was reflected in their chosen name -- B.M.F., for Bad Mutha Fuckas. But the brothers were also clever enough to know that all brawn and no brains would eventually spell their doom, so they turned to Rufus for guidance. It was a smart move, because Rufus soon had the rough BMFs drug dealings operating like a well managed organization. Boo was the brains and Moe was the brawn, and they were a formidable combination that soon was recognized by all the other gangs as top dogs. Boo and Moe owned the streets of their neighborhood. At this point Johnson takes another turn in his story telling. He makes Boo befriend a young man named Steve who's mother is a heroin addict, and adds another element to Boo's personality by giving him the compassion and the insight to transform himself into Steve's unofficial mentor. Boo loves Steve so much he asks him to be his newborn son's Godfather. Everything was fine until Steve brings his cousin Reno into the gang family, and that's when the chaos begins, because Reno is not exactly the sit-back type. Steve soon is caught in the middle of an increasingly deadly power struggle between Boo and Moe, and Reno. Altercations and confrontations occur more frequently each day, so much so that Steve finally admits to himself that he has to make a choice. At this point, Johnson again adds another twist. Did Boo and Moe think they had enough troubles with Reno? Well, when Boo negotiates with a new drug supplier, here comes one of those rival bad boys from their past who's either jealous or frustrated or both, and off we go again....
