Synopsis by Robert Firsching

This black-themed horror film begins with a woman walking through the woods, where she is stalked and stabbed to death by a masked assassin, who videotapes his crime. The heroes of the film are four popular African-American brothers. One of them, Mark, has problems trusting his Asian girlfriend Jade, and has been behaving strangely because of the stress. The killer claims another victim, a white hippie who is murdered after a lengthy and not particularly suspenseful stalking sequence. The film then settles into a series of would-be dramatic scenes intended to set up motives for each of the brothers. Mark becomes the prime suspect after Jade turns up dead, especially when it becomes clear that Jade was carrying an unborn child. Mark's lawyer quits after a silly speech about kissing his family, since Mark apparently stabbed his brother to death in a field and is charged with 11 murders. There's an interrogation scene, in which a white detective tells Mark that he will "wax his ass" and asks him if he was "playing...Jason." For some reason, Mark gives in and spills the beans about the murders, which naturally involved one of his brothers, the bald, tattooed Dre. The director co-stars with Andre Walker, Darrick Pugh'O, and Maurice Sparks.
