"In the tough inner-city where drugs and violence reign, survival on the streets is the only way of life. But when young street thug Samson escapes from prison, he becomes trapped in the world of a drug dealer who thrives on beating up rivals and eliminating anyone who stands in his way. Now, Samson will discover the very neighborhood he wants to escape is rapidly closing in on him." according to the DVD sleeve description.
The early prison scenes are fun, with nice but naughty Steve Lieberman (as Samson) trying to avoid the advances of horny Robert Restaino (as Dabdu), who wants to sample Mr. Lieberman's "Sweet Cheeks". Locked up for petty thievery and drive-by shooting, Lieberman befriends druggy David Winston (as Shebaz), wacky Barrett Grayson (as Dumonde), and hippy Luke LaFontaine (as Fleetfoot). The cast keeps the film moving.
The quartet escape from prison, where they've apparently been mistaken for juveniles, and go on a crime spree. Stupidly indiscreet, they get in more trouble. Unfortunately, the Lieberman gang hooks up with Mr. Grayson's big brother Gregory Battle (as Jorell), who is a dangerous crime lord. Also, Lieberman falls in love with amorous and beautiful blonde addict Francine LaPensee (as Terrine), but finds it difficult to change her lifestyle.
