Ace (Wood Harris) is a young man in the Harlem ghetto stuck in a dead-end job at a dry cleaning shop. His sister's boyfriend, Calvin (Kevin Carroll), is a local cocaine dealer who tries to lure Ace into the drug trade with promises of fast money and women. Ace resists Calvin's temptations, not caring for his unsophisticated ways. Likewise, Ace's close friend Mitch (Mekhi Phifer) is a flashy, popular drug dealer who impresses Ace with his expensive automobiles and jewelry. While at work, Ace finds some cocaine in one of his customers' pants. The customer, Lulu, is a cocaine supplier who lets Ace keep the cocaine. When Calvin gets arrested on drug charges, Ace runs into one of his customers and easily sells him the cocaine for $100. Impressed, Ace goes back to Lulu and gets more product to sell.
