She sidelines him from performing and prohibits him from earning money while he's on house arrest. The stresses of probation take a toll on Meek and events in his personal life spiral out of his control, including a fight and drug addiction. Meek rehabilitates himself and goes back into the recording studio, using his personal struggles to fuel his creativity. The result is his masterpiece, Wins and Losses. He begins promoting the album in New York, but a high-profile arrest for popping wheelies on a dirt bike brings him back into Judge Brinkley's sights. Although he is not charged with a crime, Brinkley schedules another probation violation hearing. This time, Brinkley's patience has run out. She orders that he be imprisoned for 2-4 years and Meek begins his new sentence in solitary confinement. Meek's treatment within the criminal justice is seen by many as an indication of how America is failing black men. Success, fame and wealth do not change how they are viewed by a system that stalks them. The outrage in the city of Philadelphia explodes and FREE MEEK protesters take to the streets. Some of Meek's supporters hire private investigators to look into the Judge's background. Meek's lawyers find the results of the investigation shocking and attempt to remove her from the case. When the detectives turn their attention to Meek's original 2007 arrest, a much larger mystery reveals itself. See less
