Benny   In 1985, after Millie's (Jessica Pimentel) drug-dealer husband Wilson (Manny Perez) is murdered by drug lord Javier Cordero's (Gary Perez) thugs, she leaves the Bronx with money she has legitimately invested from Wilson's ill-begotten gains. Millie settles down in Connecticut with new baby Wilson, Jr. and, later, his half brother Randy. Now, it is 2007, and Wilson, Jr. (Rick Gonzalez) is an honors student in college but has never wondered about where his mother's money came from. But that changes when the past returns with a vengeance. Wilson is drawn into his parents' past when Millie (now played by Wanda De Jesus) tells him about his father's past, and, together, they face a final showdown with Wilson Sr.'s killer.
