Description
In the vibrant and tumultuous landscape of 1950s and 60s Harlem, Ray Carney navigates a precarious double life. By day, he is a respectable furniture salesman, striving to provide for his family and ascend the social ladder. But by night, he dips into the city's underworld, acting as a fence for stolen goods, a dangerous game that threatens to unravel his carefully constructed world. As racial tensions simmer and erupt in the streets, Carney finds himself caught between the allure of illicit gains and the desperate need for legitimacy, forcing him to confront the true meaning of success and survival.
