The final twenty-four hours before the start of a seven-year prison sentence hang over the streets of New York like a heavy shadow. In this crime-drama directed by Spike Lee, a drug dealer finds himself trapped between his glittering past and the inevitable fate that awaits him. Amid the city’s dusty and weary atmosphere, friendships, suspicions, and shattered dreams surface one by one. The silent reckoning of a closing era and those left behind flows quietly in the darkness of the night, in time with the rhythm of the street.
