Set in a small Mississippi river town where opportunity is slim and none, the four friends fall upon hard times and take the biggest risk of their lives in an effort to break the economic chains and boundaries society has placed on them. The story is street wise and a touch cruel, but just as things begin to look up, it all crashes down and leaves only one friend in the end to reflect on where it all went wrong.
