North By Northeast
Two young black men, Marquees and Packman, stumble upon a bag full of cocaine that was thrown during a police chase. After selling it to their local dealer, TZ, they become indebted to two dangerous men, Killer Rick and David. Throughout their day, they are forced through hilarious, unexpected, and dangerous situations. All the while, the two must test themselves, their friendship, and their idea of what it means to be a “real” black man.
