The direct-to-video urban drama 4 Life opens on Ty (Page Kennedy) and Dayvon (Wood Harris) two street chums who formerly controlled all sub-rosa drug operations on the west side of Baltimore, as heads of the collective called 'DFL' (Dogs for Life). When Ty gets picked up by the authorities on suspicion of drug involvement, he fingers Dayvon as potentially responsible for the incarceration, and concocts an ugly vengeance scheme against his former pal and business partner. Meanwhile, two DFL subordinates, Stink (Kwame Patterson) and Lil' Jay (Miguel Gaetan) gear up for a takeover of the organization.
