Tim is bad news navigating Newark's mean streets. An undiagnosed dyslexic, his neighborhood creds rest on riffing strange rap-rhymes. He's packed into a 3-flat with his mother, sister and wise Uncle Gentrale. His drunkard father, recently evicted from the household, kills himself. Then it gets worse-Tim accidentally kills Chucky, a gangbanger who wanted to kick his brains out.
