Overview
Shakespeare's Macbeth is the inspiration for this urban drama. A dangerously ambitious gang member and his wife decide it's time to elevate his profile within the organization. Their takeover plans call for the murder of the gang's leader, leaving blood on their hands -- literally and figuratively. But guilt and remorse find a way to gnaw at the pair's well-laid plans.
