Soon after, however, Curtis meets a friend to discuss up-to-date information on a mark. In one scene, as he cuts and bags up crack to sell, he explains how he watched his uncle do exactly the same thing when he was a kid, and comments that his son is the same age he was and watching him engage in the same behavior. Her death causes Curtis to sink into depression, as he now has to take care of his young son while continuing to deal drugs. He attempts to get revenge by ambushing 'white hat's' girlfriend, but in retaliation, they kill his girlfriend and mother of his child.

He collapses in the street nearby, where he is found by a police patrol and subsequently arrested in connection with a prior robbery, and spends four months in jail.Īfter his release from jail, Curtis is enthusiastically welcomed back by his neighborhood, and is clearly anxious to get right back into the drug dealing game. Luckily the bullet wounds are not fatal and the ambusher's gun jams right as he comes close to Curtis, allowing him to flee.

On his way back home after cutting the latest stolen product with his crew, Curtis is ambushed in a backyard alleyway by a gunman seconds after looking 'white hat' in the eye. The man in the white hat follows Curtis into his territory, asking the locals about him, but the surface threat doesn't faze Curtis and he continues to hustle. While playing at a pool hall, Curtis recognizes a rival drug dealer with his familiar white hat, who likewise takes note of Curtis. When a friend tips him off to another gang selling drugs nearby, he invades their house with the help of his friend and robs them of their supply as well. He recruits his friends and robs the rivals of their drug supply. Recognizing the quality of the camera, he hands it to one of his friends, telling him to continue filming no matter what in order to capture their day-to-day life as it occurs.Ĭurtis soon learns that another group of drug dealers have encroached on his territory, selling drugs not far from his street. Once they arrive, Curtis pulls out a gun, robs them of their purses and camera, and makes a hasty escape. They find a dealer named Curtis Snow, who asks them to drive him to his house in order to fulfill their order. One of the students holds a camera with the hope of filming the encounter. Clearly naive, they joke about flirting in hopes of getting free drugs, and reassure one another that they have nothing to fear. Three college students drive to the Bluff, a westside Atlanta neighborhood, intending to buy some drugs from a dealer.
