Synopsis/Details
Bloodhound Synopsis
Bloodhound follows the turbulent life of Jeff, known as "Bloodhound," a young rapper navigating the unforgiving streets of South Side Chicago. Raised in a world of violence, betrayal, and fleeting loyalty, Jeff’s childhood is marked by poverty and danger. His closest allies—Scoom, Q50, and JB Binladen—are both his brothers in arms and the catalysts for his darkest moments.
The film opens with Jeff’s struggle to survive, thrust into a violent reality at a young age. His rise in the local rap scene is fueled by raw talent and street credibility, but as his fame grows, so do the dangers. Betrayal strikes from within his circle, and his name becomes a target. Amid shootouts, betrayals, and brutal acts of survival, Jeff's path is marked by bloodshed and broken promises.
Scoom, one of his closest friends, is gunned down in a drive-by, his death streamed live on social media. Jeff’s own life is cut short in an ambush, his body left on a blood-soaked porch, a haunting reminder of the cycle of violence he could never escape.
The story closes on the bleak aftermath, with a mural of Jeff and Scoom immortalized on a crumbling wall. Q50 is left alone in the studio, staring at an empty mic—a symbol of dreams shattered and talent silenced. Bloodhound is a raw, unflinching look at how dreams are born and destroyed in the unforgiving streets of Chicago.
