A bold, brilliant tale of puzzle, revenge, and success in the 1980s, when cocaine and money ruled the location pavements and even the good guys wanted a piece of the action. It's March madness and the school boys are playing hockey on T.V. But on the pavements of D.C., the homeboys are interacting, dissing, dying. From behind dish wine glass, with an 80s backbeat pounding in his brain, Marcus Clay watches it all happen, and prays that he is able to make a go with his downtown record store. A car comes careening down U Street, and what Marcus considers next will plunge him into the middle of your war. A medication runner is decapitated in the crash. A bystander - a white son anxious to buy a woman's love - snatches a tote of cash from the wreck, and a prince of criminal offenses wants it again. For Marcus's pal, Dimitri Karras, the mayhem is a chance to make a score. For a pair of soiled cops it's a chance to get free. As well as for a large number of lives swept up into the maelstrom, it's yet another springtime in America's capital, where in fact the game is played out for keeps.
