Professional bodyguard D Hunter takes a gig protecting rapper Asya Roc at an underground fight club in poverty-stricken Brownsville, Brooklyn. Unknown to D, the rapper has arranged to purchase illegal guns at the event. An acquaintance of D's from the streets (and from the novel The Plot Against Hip Hop; Akashic, 2011) named Ice turns out to be the courier. During the exchange a robbery is attempted and Ice is wounded. D gets Asya Roc to safety, but is then part of a lethal chase that ends under the elevated subway where D and the two gunmen run into a bloody shootout.
