|---|
A story of the everyday lives of four friends from Harlem. They are school ditchers who are looking for respect by causing trouble around town (what they call juice).
Q (Omar Epps) wants to become a DJ to strike it big but Bishop (Tupac Shakur) wants to gain juice by holding up a local one stop shop with a gun. The store owner is shot during the holdup and it turns the four friends against each other.
