"Dynamic, honest and provocative!" -San Francisco Chronicle

Winner of teh Special Jury Prize at the 1991 Sundance Film Festival, this "raw, uncompromising [and] auspicious feature debut" (Screen International) from filmmaker Matty Rich is a remarkable tale about hope, passion and consequence told honestly, powerfully and "straight from the heart" (Reader)!

Dennis is sick of his dead-end life in one of Brooklyn's toughest housing projects. Seizing an opportunity to get rich quick, he convinces his two best friends to help him rob the local drug lord. Amazingly, they plan goes off without a hitch, leaving these urban Robin Hoods thinking they've got it made...until a life-altering event proves to Dennis that the only way out of this urban war zone is either in an honest day's work...or a body bag!
