Waist Deep (2006)

In the gritty heart of South Los Angeles, a recently paroled ex-con, O2, finds his promise to his young son, Junior, tested in a crucible of danger and desperation. "I'll always come back for you," O2's promise resonates as he is thrust back into the underbelly of the city when Junior is abducted during a carjacking. As the dust settles from the harrowing chase, O2's life spirals into chaos, his son now in the sinister clutches of Meat, the brutal leader of the Outlaw Syndicate. Amid this turmoil, O2's cousin Lucky, torn between family ties and criminal loyalties, struggles to mediate, but the stakes are high and time is running out. Enter Coco, a cunning street-smart hustler, whose destiny intertwines with O2's in the chaotic aftermath of the kidnapping. When a ransom of $100,000 is demanded for Junior's safe return - a sum Meat erroneously believes O2 possesses from a former heist - the duo seizes the opportunity to manipulate the seething rivalries within the South Los Angeles underworld. Embarking on a thrilling, law-defying odyssey through the city's diverse neighborhoods, O2 and Coco become an unstoppable force. Their audacious plan? To pit the ruthless pimp P-Money against Meat, triggering a deadly confrontation that could lead to their salvation or their downfall. As they navigate the treacherous waters of crime and betrayal, the heat simmers between O2 and Coco, adding a layer of complexity to their mission. With every tick of the clock, their determination grows: "It's either all or nothing." But can they outwit the city's most dangerous criminals, rescue Junior, and save themselves in this high-stakes game of survival? Only time will tell.
