This 1950's gang movie, directed by Scott Kalvert, takes place in the dysfunctional streets of Brooklyn, New York. Two brothers, Leon (Stephen Dorff) and Bobby (Brad Renfro) are members of the street gang that call themselves the deuces. Their younger brother was killed by a drug overdose a few years back and eversince have been determined to keep drugs off their streets.
The more violent, ruthless gang opposite them are known as the vipers and are a possible threat to Leon and Bobby's efforts. The leader of the viper's gang, Marco, has just been released from prison and is looking for renvenge.
