Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
Four friends from Harlem resort con games and armed robbery in order to make ends meet, but find their friendship put to the test when an influential slumlord plots to gentrify their neighborhood. Now, in order to prove that they can't be bought out or pushed around by a man who thinks everyone has their price, these four young hustlers are about to carry out their most ambitious - and treacherous - scam to date.
