After his mother dies of a heroin overdose, Joshua 'J' Cody moves in with his estranged grandmother, Janine ‘Smurf' Cody in Oceanside, California. He finds himself drawn into a dark world funded by criminal activities that he's been shielded from for years, as she and his uncles plan their upcoming heist.

Adding fuel to the fire is an external threat from Smurf's past that has come back to haunt her.
Season 3
2018 · 13 episodes · TMDB 7.1

Outsiders move in to threaten the Cody’s fragile peace, including Angela the former best friend of J’s deceased mother and a recovering junkie, who tries to snake her way back into the family’s good graces. A new criminal crew is also introduced with a surprising connection to the Codys.

Meanwhile, they search for more information on Pamela Johnson, whom Smurf made the beneficiary of her estate.
