Freeman is dreaming of success as a reggae musician when he stumbles into a Washington, D.C., alley and finds two men who d killed each other moments earlier. As he starts to run, a green package catches his eye. He takes the package home and finds that it contains heroin worth over a million dollars. His girlfriend, Simone, convinces him to overcome his fear and sell the drugs. Meanwhile, in Miami, Tommy, the package s rightful owner, is battling unacknowledged bipolar disorder and worrying about the whereabouts of his parcel. To make matters worse, he s just missed a court-appointed urine test, his cousin wants him to avenge her son s murder, and his lover, a well-paid stripper named Gabrielle, is facing the consequences of a long-held secret that threatens to disrupt her life.
Freeman s efforts to sell the package while Tommy tries desperately to find it trigger a series of events that involve a single-minded female FBI agent, a muscle-bound bodyguard with a conscience, a heroic but flawed detective, and a wealthy, elusive counterfeiter whose desire for Freeman s girl leads to a potentially career-ending lapse in judgment."
