Description
Grind (V) to reduce to fine particles: To sharpen; polish or shape by friction; To press or rub together: To work or study hard - Websters Dictionary Armand Sands, Roc Byrd, Mike Hinks, and Jay Wilson are African-American college students in Oakland CA, who want everything at any cost. And when the question, Do you want be rich?, is posed to Armand Sands the Grind is set into motion. As the four young men wander down the path of their twisted American dream, they encounter a few seasoned street veterans who at times serve up wise advice and on other occasions push, the four young men even further into the teeth of the Grind. It isnt until one of the four young men is almost killed, that it is realized that seeds of deeds past have matured and all the circumstances set in front of them are self made.
