A bold, brilliant tale of mystery, revenge, and survival in the 1980s—when cocaine and money ruled the city streets and even the good guys wanted a piece of the action.

It's March madness and the college boys are playing basketball on TV. But on the streets of DC, the homeboys are dealing, dissing, dying.

From behind plate glass, with an 80s backbeat pounding in his brain, Marcus Clay watches it all happen, and prays that he can make a go with his downtown record store.

Then a car comes careening down U Street, and what Marcus sees next will plunge him into the middle of a war.
