King Suckerman weaves the blaxploitation films, the drug deals, the soul music and the racial tensions that defined the '70's into a story of natural-born killers and two men who risk everything to bring them down.
Wilton Cooper is at a drive-in movie when he notices the ugly white boy into the projection booth. Seconds later a gun goes off, perfectly timed to coincide with the movie's noisy climax. When the boy stuts coolly out, blood sprayed on the front of his cheap print shirt, Cooper knows he's found his partner.
Dimitri Karras and Marcus Clay are old friends, involved in smalltime business and drug dealing. When they cross paths with Cooper, they enter a world where merciless, unpredictable violence is the only certainty.
Genre: Mystery
