The Mafia boys may rule downtown, but uptown the Black Godfather controls the streets, and when the two gangs declare war over drug territories all Hell is sure to break loose.

J.J. (Rob Perry S.W.A.T) is a hustler with a conscience. A small-time numbers runner who dabbles in prostitution, J.J. wants nothing to do with the drug trade which he holds responsible for the continuing slavery of the Black man.

After a violent confrontation with mobster Tony Burton (Don Chastain) leaves a friend dead J.J. becomes the ally of local numbers king Nate Williams (Jimmy Witherspoon) who teaches him how to dismantle Burton's drub operation brick by brick. But Burton's got a secret weapon: Det. Joe Sterling (Duncan Mcleod Beyond the Valley of the Dolls) a crooked cop who's go t the dirt on all the syndicates, is now Burton's lap dog. J.J. is in for the fight of his life.and for his life.
