Description
Ray Carney's life appears to be one of normalcy - he runs a reasonably priced furniture business with his wife Elizabeth and is expecting their second child. However, beneath the surface, cracks in his façade begin to show as cash becomes tight and his cousin Freddie occasionally drops off valuable items without explanation. When Freddie falls in with a crew planning to rob the Hotel Theresa, Ray's services are sought after as a fence. This new clientele brings its own set of shady characters, forcing Ray to navigate a double life between his striver and crook personas. As he becomes embroiled in this underworld, Ray begins to see who truly holds power in Harlem. The result is an internal struggle that exposes the complexities of life in Harlem, where appearances can be deceiving and loyalty is tested.
