The story

In a Brooklyn housing project, a group of clockers — street-level drug dealers — work for Rodney Little, a local drug lord. Rodney orders Ronald "Strike" Dunham, one of his lead clockers, to kill Darryl Adams, another dealer who has been stealing from him. Strike is reluctant to carry out the killing and asks his brother Victor if he knows someone who could kill Adams.
