Synopsis

SHOTTAS is an unapologetic and unrefined urban drama about two young men. Jamaicans Wayne (Spragga Benz) and Biggs (Kymani Marley) grew up together on the tough and dangerous streets of Kingston, Jamaica and got involved in criminal activity as young boys.

Moving to the US, they start at the bottom and begin a ruthless climb to the glitzy heights of a criminal enterprise in Miami including a lavish lifestyle with fast cars and gorgeous women. The two men remain fiercely bound by their shottas loyalty as they aggressively take control of the Jamaican underworld.

From director/writer/producer Cess Silvera, SHOTTAS is a movie in the tradition of SCARFACE and THE HARDER THEY COME.
