The streets of Oakland or the "Town" as its referred to by the locals, can be a cold heartless place plagued by the woes of drugs, prostitution and violence. From the outside looking in, for many young people, Oakland is a place to drive recklessly, meet fast girls, and score drugs. Mo Jr. is one of these young people who fantasize about "going dumb" in the "Town". Little does he know he's in for the experience of his life this summer.
Mo Jr. and his sister have been raised in the suburbs outside of Oakland Their parents have tried to shelter them from the harsh realities of the streets that they grew up with. Mo Jr. is the typical 19 year old young, easily influenced and full of mischief. His sister Felicia is a beautiful young lady who just graduated from high school and like lots of young ladies, she is attracted to the bad boy type. Both of these kids have had a great upbringing, but they both are attracted to the allure of the street life.
This Summer Mo Sr. has decided to let his son work in his cousin's auto shop in Oakland. Mo Sr. hopes this will teach his spoiled son some responsibility and give him some real world experience as well as let him get to know more about his family.
Mo Jr.'s family is full of colorful street characters who try to teach him valuable life lessons about how to survive on the streets. Mo Jr. also learns about his father's sordid past and the real reason that his family has been afforded the "good life".
Mo Jr.'s impetuous ways soon get him into trouble when he is kidnapped by a new crew of thugs that are planning a vicious takeover of the streets. Mo Sr. now has a hard decision to make. Does he handle this situation like a regular joe or does he resort back to his old ways and to handle this "TOWNBIZ"?
