PlotDavid is a young man living in Brooklyn who finds himself suddenly unemployed and struggling to make ends meet. Desperate for cash, he turns to selling marijuana through an online store to cover his rent and daily expenses. As his side hustle gains traction, David finds himself increasingly drawn into the underworld of drug dealing, balancing his new lifestyle with maintaining a facade of normalcy. Amid this turbulent transition, he meets Kate, a bright and ambitious woman, and they enter into a romantic relationship, adding another layer of complexity to his double life.
As David's illicit business grows, he faces mounting pressures from both the criminal elements he inadvertently becomes involved with and the encroaching suspicion from law enforcement. Struggling under the weight of maintaining a secret life, David's personal relationships begin to fray, and the risks of his newfound enterprise start to outweigh the rewards. As he navigates the moral and legal ramifications of his choices, David is forced to confront whether the financial security he's achieved is worth the escalating dangers and the potential loss of everything he holds dear.
