Spoilers ahead
The narrative unfolds during the 1960s, focusing on three inmates in a New York prison: Earl (Van Peebles), Rocco (Kelly), and Carlito (Hernandez). While confined, they cleverly establish and maintain their criminal empire from behind bars. Once they gain their freedom, their sights are set on dominating the drug trade in Harlem, which is rife with tension between the Italian Bottolota crime family and the black gangsters led by the infamous Hollywood Nicky (Combs).
Rocco introduces the trio to Artie Bottolota (Young), who is initially hesitant to engage with black and Puerto Rican associates. However, after some negotiation, he ultimately agrees to collaborate with them in the distribution of heroin. Their crew expands when Earl’s troubled younger brother Reggie joins the mix, which quickly leads to complications.
