    • Life on the streets of Kingston, Jamaica is frantic survival for small time hustler Rocksy-a taxi driver/part-time pimp and Rosie, a prostitute, his roomie and business investment. They dream of a life with a future. With hisbud Malt, Rocksy eyes a fancy sports car and together they plan to steal it. The car belongs a local businessman. They think the money will change their lives immediately but of course it’s only temporarily. Rosie is dead set against it and fed up. She wants out but Rocksy cannot manage without her. When she leaves, Rocksy becomes more desperate.He does the unthinkable. In the context and contrasts of the Jamaican landscape its backstory is political, as the current embedded system doesn't allow for change..
