This is sort of a spin-off of the 1992 film, Juice, featuring Omar Epps and Tupac Shakur. If you haven't seen, Juice is about 4 young men in New York trying to get the "juice", slang for power and respect. In this story, Michael, Shawn, Tupac and Shakkan are 4 seniors who live in the Sugar Hill projects in Harlem. In their minds, the only way out is up and the only way up is if you're slinging or you have a football or basketball in your hand. Michael and Shakkan can ball, but that's not enough to keep the group of boy's dreams alive. The only choice is dealing. One small problem. Where do they get the drugs from? Where do they sell? How do they sell, for that matter? That's where the young, sexy, witty Vanessa comes in. Her father is a notorious king-pin and she knows the ropes. With her knowledge and the teenage boys' strength, will they get the victory, success and juice, or will their dream turn to agony and failure? We'll have to see, now won't we?
