Bmf centers on the real-life experiences of Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory (Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr.) and Terry “Southwest Tee” Flenory (Da’Vinchi). The brothers grow up in Detroit in the 1980s. As a means to rise out of poverty, the pair began as street drug dealers, becoming two of the biggest drug traffickers in the country.
