The film follows the story of Dante, a Miami drug dealer, and his girlfriend Mickey through the profitable business operation they've been developing since they were street kids. Now in their 20s, they're living a life that once was exciting, but now is taking its toll - physically and emotionally. They want to get out and start a normal family. Their troubles are complicated by the return of an old business partner just released from jail. Out for revenge, he slowly poisons Dante's operation with the help of a crooked cop. With the assistance of his loyal henchman, Dante uncovers the plot, leading to a game of cat and mouse on the mean streets of Miami, where the action is dangerous and intense.
