This Is Payne

In this real life scripted drama and without a doubt tense situation. Twin brothers, Derrick and Erick Anderson become mixed in with the violence of Atlanta's street life, and both with a fantasy
of one day playing pro sports.

As young boys, both where taught skillfully how to fight as boxers from their father, Bryan 'Brick Anderson. An ex-pro boxer and proud father. Teaching them discipline, hard work, and to never become a follower. As teenagers their father was in a severe car accident that caused him brain damage and was unable to speak. Paralyzing him from the waist down.

Their mother Allison, has another son named Brandon Dollar from her first husband. He is in prison serving a 25 year sentence. She hardly ever went to visit him in there but she did help care for his kids Siah, Malik and Dana when she was able to. But Allison did write to Brandon while he was in prison and sent pictures of herself, his kids and his twin little brothers, who are the same age as Brandon's youngest son BJ and his only daughter Dana. And BJ is being raised in Texas by his mother Tyesha.

The twins would now have to care for their father, but Derrick and Erick would still become great fighters while growing up. In school and after school, any fights they would have, all had the same outcome, a beat down. Derrick would keep the family tradition going and later start his boxing career and rank in as a top amateur fighter.

Erick took a different path and became a professional in street politics. Then ultimately their separate lives would cross paths, and one of these brothers bad decision, dramatically effected the other's entire life. And both are given the same harsh reality. That at the blink of an eye, you
could lose everything.
