Laurence Fishburne not only produced and directed this downbeat urban fable, he adapted the script from his own 1994 stage play
Riff Raff. The good news is that Fishburne also stars, and has recruited a talented group of actors to flesh out the cast; the bad
news is that no one seems to have been on hand to help out with the rest of film. New York City scam artist and ex-con "20/20 Mike" Williams (Fishburne) may have a sixth sense when it comes to trouble, but it can't save him from landing in an NYPD holding tank on a parole violation, where he's
reunited with his estranged half-brother, Billy "Torch" Williams (Titus Welliver). Mike's gift also doesn't help...
