In this gritty urban drama, Jimmy (Bokeem Woodbine) and Luther (Justin Pierce) are two young men who've fallen deep in debt to a loan shark who is not very patient about getting his money back. In an act of desperation, Jimmy and Luther plan a scheme to blackmail a wealthy doctor, but it doesn't take long for them to realize that they've picked the wrong man to fool with. Soon the duo are locked in a deadly chase, with the police, the mob, and a violent lunatic all on their trail -- and the police are the least likely to kill them on sight. Black Male also stars Roger Rees, Sascha Knopf, and Erik Dellums.
