Synopsis

"It's Halloween night, Mike (20/20) and his half brother, Billy (Torch), have retreated to an abandoned crack den on the Lower East Side, in the aftermath of a drug heist gone sour. Torch has just killed one of the henchmen of the neighbourhood's reigning drug lord. Having planned no means of escape, Mike summons his former colleague, Tony, to help them out of this jam. What follows is a three-way confrontation in which guns are drawn, allegiances are shifted, and secrets are uncovered. Themes of lost brotherhood and friendship are evident, while the bleakness of each of the characters' lives is chillingly suggested."
