Spoilers ahead
Mick [Michael Raynor] and Lex [Nick Chinlund] are brothers who grew up in Harlem under harsh circumstances. Their mother, Doreen [Cathy Moriarty], was a diabetic with a drinking problem and had a hard time saying no to the men in her life. While she wasn’t a sex worker, she depended on the small gifts her lovers would bring, and as children Mick and Lex learned to accept this as the way things were. One night, while walking in the park, the younger Mick was molested by a cop, and Lex—older and strong—attacked the officer, an act that sent Mick to reform school.
