The drama is based on the real lives of Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory and his brother, Terry “Southwest T” Flenory, kingpins of a wide-reaching drug syndicate that came to power in the late 1990s/early 2000s.
Hornsby will play Charles Flenory, the family patriarch. A struggling musician, Charles “uses faith, fortitude and humor to keep his family on the straight and narrow” per the character description as he tries to keep Terry out of older brother from getting bulldozed by Demetrius’ ambition and influence.
Harris will play Detroit Police Department veteran Detective Bryant who goes way back with Demetrius. Bryant’s assignation to a major anti-drug push will make him choose between his profession and his loyalty to Demetrius.
Granted, conditions in the City of Roses were ideal for regular point-scoring, but head coach Ivan van Rooyen will be truly chuffed with the manner in which this win was achieved.
Criticised as underpowered and unbalanced in the last two seasons - playing an attacking game that lacks the necessary grunt up front - the Lions showcased a new, compelling side to their play.
Five tries confirmed that they haven t lost their attacking edge though it was notable that they used power and precision instead of excessive flair.
The Lions were dominant in the set-pieces, monoplising possession and providing themselves with additional momentum by acing the collisions.
