IN THIS DRUG GAME, THERE ARE ONLY THREE THINGS THAT CAN GET YOU HURT...AND LUCK AINT ONE OF THEM. IN FACT, IF YOU THINK THAT THIS GAME COMES WITH HIGH STAKES THAT DEPEND ON BEING LUCKY, YOU HAVE MADE YOUR FIRST DREADFUL MISTAKE. THE THREE THINGS YOU CAN GET YOU HURT ARE: STUPIDITY; STUPIDITY AND STUPIDITY.
NOW I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING: ALL THREE OF THOSE THINGS ARE THE SAME THING. HERE WE A PLOT UNFOLDING THAT IS TELLING THREE DIFFERENT STORIES. 1) COMING OF AGE STORY FOR A BOY TO A MAN THROUGH DRUG DEALING; 2) TWO COUSINS SECRETLY KILLED THEIR FATHER'S RIGHT-HAND MAN IN CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE TO START THEIR OWN DRUG DEALING COMPANY; 3) A CIA AGENT, A REVOLUTIONIST AND A STRANGE WHITE LADY CONVERGE UNDER THE BACKDROP OF A SECRET DRUG DEALING GOVERNMENT OPERATION.
I JUST DESCRIBED THREE SCENARIOS THAT INVOLVED A TRIO THAT HAS TO LEARN HOW TO TRUST EACH OTHER: 1) THE BOY AND HIS TWO HOMIES; 2) THE MUSCLE AND THE TWO COUSINS; AND 3) AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. THAT IS EITHER A COINCIDENCE OF THREES OR JUST BEING LUCKY...OR, IT COULD MEAN STUPIDITY CUBED. WHAT IS CERTAIN IN EACH OF THESE SCENARIOS IS THAT STUPIDITY ABOUNDS. SUCH HAPPENSTANCE DOES NOT OCCUR IN REAL LIFE.
