About GB2525
In the dark, urban landscape of the future, a two-year gang truce is shattered when the leader of the most powerful gang, 54th Street, is brutally assassinated. Puppet (Richard Azurdia), now in command, seeks violent retaliation. The sole obstacle to an all out war is a respected gang member known as "Supa'man", who convinces Puppet to give him time to search out those responsible and salvage the truce. Sup' and his crew must battle time and rival gangs to ultimately discover a truth far greater than they could have ever imagined.
