The story of a young black man who smokes dope, writes poetry and deals drugs in the ghetto's of Washington D.C., until he gets sent to prison on drug charges following the shooting of a dealer. Prison turns out to be even more terrifying than imagined.
He is about to be killed in the exercise yard when he suddenly halts the threat of gang violence by breaking out into a cosmic rap about the universe. Puzzled by the skinny kid spouting unintelligible metaphors, the gang members look stunned for a while, then shuffle off to knife someone else.
