Hart plays the character Shawn, a rookie thief, who is part of a crew of thieves, doing small-time jobs like house breaking.

They still manage to do some jobs like breaking into Jay-Z's house and robbing some of its material goods, but predictably, they receive prison time for robbery or aggravated assault.

Beanie Sigel plays Stu, a hot-headed hood bully who does small robberies to make some cash, while Damon Dash and Memphis Bleek act as thieves of another crew, and Stacey Dash is a beautiful woman named Tamika.

Shawn's parole officer then informs him that his next urine test needs to be clean and that he must keep his job at the beeper shop.

Frustrated with his low paycheck and utilities being turned off, he decides to accept Burtie's offer and they begin robbing homes.

Will sees a security system wire is cut and they notice the back door is open.

Shawn sees recently-released Stu, who then notices Pat, the mother of his kids, out with a man named Rudy.

Shawn's parole officer informs him that he failed the urine test, and another failure will lead to jail time.

As Shawn prepares to flee town, he goes home to say goodbye to Monique and their son, finding an empty house.

The film ends as it began, with Shawn playing dominoes with Burtie and Johnny, as he delivers a message to the audience to not break into homes.
