Synopsis

The epic story of druglords and ill fated friendships is brought to the screen in "Chiko." Wanting in on a piece of the action in the local drug scene in his 'hood, Chiko forces a street dealer to give him the name of the man he works for. Stopping at nothing and intimidating those who get in his way, Chiko earns the attention of the local drug lord, Brownie (Moritz Bleibtreu, "Run Lola Run"), who brings Chiko in to sell exclusively through him. The money begins to flow and it looks as though Chiko and his friends are one step closer to fulfilling their dreams. A white Mercedes, a chopper motorcycle, women and influence -- it'll all soon be at their fingertips. But when Chiko's closest and most trusted friend makes a grave mistake, he is forced to decide between wealth and friendship, power and loyalty.
