In this black-and-white, independently produced crime drama, Izzy (Jack Kruschen) is surprised one day shortly after the death of his business partner to discover that he had been using their gumball machine franchise as a cover for selling crack. Though he's a bit long in the tooth to be starting out in such a rough business, he teams up with a middle-aged black man with street smarts (Don Fullilove), and together they cope with the competition for this business he didn't know he had.
