Ice Dealer is a gritty, culture-clashing TV drama that explores the intersection of African and African American identities in the heart of Harlem. When Badu, a newcomer from Africa, meets Dro, a savvy African American entrepreneur running Weed World, they form an unexpected bond rooted in survival, ambition, and the cannabis trade. But dreams get complicated. Dro struggles to keep Weed World afloat amid government push back, while Badu opens the door to a new venture: the diamond business. Their journey attracts scrutiny from nosy neighbors, including Erica, whose complaints spark legal and personal chaos. Meanwhile, Pako, Weed World's manager, tries to build a new life with his Latina wife despite family rejection, and his brother Gorgi confronts the bitter truth of the American dream. Across the ocean and back, Moussa returns from Africa entangled in international diamond politics and a looming rebellion. Tensions rise as the Harlem streets become the battleground for control - Uptown vs. Downtown, Africans vs. African Americans, family vs. legacy. In this high-stakes melting pot, weed is just the beginning.
