A lawless New York pair looking to move past a life of petty crime decides that drugs are where the real money is at in this gritty urban drama from director Juney Smith. In order to truly break into the world of drug dealing, Bo and Mousey need some serious startup cash. Though the pair's financing scheme involving a crooked lawyer, a jewel thief, and a numbers runner soon pays off, the pressure of the big time becomes too much to handle for the small-time hoods, and following a heated betrayal that results in murder, the pair finds that a life of crime may not pay off after all.
