Synopsis by Mark Deming
In this tense drama, Jimmy (Santio East) and Sal (Bobby Kaman) are a pair of aspiring brokers whose ambitions are greater than their wallets. They need $50,000 to buy a seat on the New York Commodities Exchange, so they start working for a bookie to get the cash. However, before long the bookie starts having trouble with the law, and Jimmy is starting to look like the perfect fall guy. Will Jimmy get out while he still can before the law takes away his freedom -- and his new girlfriend Rachel (Lira Angel) decides she doesn't want to be involved with a jailbird?
