Twenty-five-year-old Mookie lives in Bedford–Stuyvesant with his sister Jade, has a toddler son named Hector with his girlfriend Tina, and works as a delivery man at a local pizzeria owned by Sal, an Italian-American who has been in the neighborhood for 25 years. Sal's racist eldest son Pino is antagonistic towards Mookie, clashing with both his father, who refuses to leave the majority African-American neighborhood, and his younger brother Vito, who is friendly with Mookie.
