The inner-city struggle for respect bears out in the lives of everyone who deals with life in the urban streets. Jessica, a rookie cop, is all that stands between her ex-con husband [who happens to be a recently paroled graffiti artist] and the violence of the underworld. Maxine, a beautiful artist, faces powerful questions of sexuality. And Jordan, a tortured young boxer, fights for his identity in the streets. Their moving stories and powerful action are rivetingly linked by the sultry voice of sexy radio D.J. Rude.
