Plots(1)
Even with his personal life out of control, no one commands the rave club audiences like deejay and ex-con Jason St. Julian (LL Cool J.). That makes him the perfect target for ruthless cop Marcus Caldwell (Howard Hesseman) who forces Jason to become his eyes andears at the dance club owned by drug dealing Danny Simon, the same man responsible for sending Jason to prison. While waiting for the big drug deal to go down, Jason flirts with danger every time he flirts with scintillating Monica Collins (Victoria Dillard), Danny's main squeeze. Even in a world of conscienceless hit men, cutthroat cops and sadistic drug lords, Monica is the most dangerousplayer of all. This suspenseful, action-packed film pioneers an exciting new genre of hip hop film noire where the only thing thatmoves faster than music is the plot. (official distributor synopsis)
