Two African-American brothers, Lincoln and Booth, play a game of three-card monte that leads to a reenactment of the deadly meeting of their namesakes in Suzan-Lori Parks' Pulitzer Prize-winning play.

The play chronicles the adult lives of two African American brothers, Lincoln and Booth, as they cope with women, work, poverty, gambling, racism, and their troubled upbringings.

Leo, Misha, Ralph, and Dawn are old friends. The two couples have a lot in common--good educations, progressive politics, a taste for culture. But when a racially motivated incident with the cops leaves Leo shaken, he decides he must take extreme measures in order to survive. Suzan-Lori Parks' newest work reveals how easily fissures can form in the social contracts we build with one another when confronted with difficult questions about race and identity.

Girl 6（特里萨·兰德尔 饰）本是一个年轻女演员，原本希望凭借自己演技走红的她却没有什么演出机会，为了应付纽约市高涨的生活开支，尝试去从事色情电话女郎的工作，不料越做越沉迷其中而不可自拔。本片是黑人导演斯派克·李自导自演的作品，题材颇富趣味性。导演对色情电话这个行业虽没有提出深入独到的探讨，但对其中多彩多姿的生态倒有令人开眼的描述，对影迷而言更大的的乐趣则是可以在片中看到不少演艺界名人客串亮相演出小角色。
