Freeman is dreaming of success as a reggae musician when he stumbles into a Washington, D.C., alley and finds two men whöd 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.
