October 1919. A 14-year-old boy steps off a train in Harlem with 37 cents and a Bible.

Three years later, the most feared woman in Harlem personally requests to meet him.

This is the untold story of how Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson survived his first brutal years in New York—from shining shoes for nickels to becoming a feared enforcer in Harlem's underground economy.

Episode 2 covers 1919-1922: the beatings that hardened him, the reform school that educated him, and the streets that transformed a scared country boy into the man who would eventually control Harlem.
