Tommie Simms was said to be the community trust, the young man from a nearby who made good. He attended a state school, married a good woman, and landed a posture at a white-collar insurance firm. Watching over Chicago from the 33rd floor of his company's downtown high go up, Tommie ignores the gnawing sense that he doesn't belong upon this path - and this in a blink of the eye, he could stray from its given vacation spot. And he will.... Soon Tommie is laid off, and he commences to see himself as yet another faceless entity on the city's fringes. After each fruitless job interview, Tommie's wife withdraws from him further, and in the mirror he faces the reflection of failure his family never designed for him. Stymied by rejection and mounting debts, Tommie is seduced into peddling dope as his best chance to define himself and to give those he is in love with. But a commercial job is no preparation for hustling, and when Tommie discovers himself on the incorrect side of your crooked cop, everyone wants a piece of him: his street-hustling cousins, the authorities, friends, loan sharks, even a panderer from his white-collar former. To be able to break free, Tommie must find a way to dig himself out of your deepening opening, before the town buries him.
