In the Bronx, late one night in a seedy motel, the plan of
reluctant gangsta and aspiring Reggae singer Ruddy Gale (aka
“Roughneck,” a first generation Jamaican-American,) to escape a savage cycle of
drugs and violence goes disastrously awry, ending in several deaths,
including those of his fiancé, Elizabeth, and his friend
Barry.
Cut to three years later: Ruddy, going by his own name, cleaned up
and totally focused on the one thing he loves most, his music. He
drives a cab by day and practices and performs with his band at night. One
day, however, an encounter with cronies from his old days -– the
ruthless and powerful drug lord, Joe-the-Boss; the deadly enforcer, RudeBoy;
and the voluptuous, but vicious Nitti, sets in motion a deadly chain of
events as the dark forces of Ruddy’s past try to drag him back into the
vortex of easy money, sex drugs and death.
