[2] Will Janowitz and Max Casella of The Sopranos fame star in the film, as do Dean Winters and David Zayas from Oz.
The story revolves around Michael "Little Man" McCarthy and the rise and fall of marijuana dealers from Bristol, Connecticut.
"[3] Director/writer Brandon David based the movie on the events leading up to and following a months-long investigation by the Statewide Narcotics Task Force which resulted in the arrest of 21 people from Bristol, Plymouth, Southington, and Thomaston.
"It is a shocking fact that a good friend of Kevin's was a DEA informant," David said, which was another motivation to make the movie.
[2] David did take creative license on some realities, such as making "Little Man's" mother addicted to OxyContin and dying of an overdose.
