It's mid-spring 1975 and twenty-two-year-old Dice is in the process of avenging his brother's murder. Then his landlord tells him he has thirty days to move out of his place due to renovations. He also tells him he will be doubling the rent. Dice's priority changes. Now he feels he needs to get more money and lots of it. With the help of his friend Spike, they both embark on a career of murdering for hire, in and around the housing projects they grew up in. They feel that they're bounty hunters, ridding the Earth of people who deserve to be killed. Eventually, they will be biting off more than they can chew.
