Tony Williams is a young man from Harlem, looking to find himself as he fights to be the man his mother wishes him to be and what the streets force you to become.
When the streets finally win out, he teams up with a flamboyant friend from Brooklyn, Pretty Lou, and Lou's grimy and dangerous Dallas cousin, Tyrone.
Together, the trio form a deadly crew that quickly begin to make names for themselves on the streets of New York City. When one falls for a beautiful Sicilian woman, the stakes are raised to violently high levels. Hitmen, dirty cops, drugs, and the Mafia all collide and set the stage for one of life's sweetest joys: revenge.
