An ambitious, street-level drug dealer hooks up with a slick investment banker and learns that a man with a briefcase can steal more than a 100 men with guns. Life is sweet for Victor Rosa (mambomouth John Leguizamo), aside from the fact that his college-girl girlfriend Carmen's (Delilah Cotto) mother (Sonia Braga) has never forgiven him for making her daughter a dealer's honey. He's got respect in his neighborhood; a steady connection in La Colombiana (Isabella Rossellini); a top-notch crew composed up of loyal buddies Jimmy (Vincent Larasca), Chedda (Treach) and Jay (Rafael Baez); branded product in the heroin mix he calls "Empire"; a prime piece of the South Bronx...
