Description
BLOW tells the story of Tay, a young man living on the dangerous streets of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. Although he was making a decent living selling weed, he one day discovers something far more sinister. Blow. Heroin, or Horse depending on what era you're from. After doing a little research, he finds out that he can make more money by selling blow than crack or coke. He now has the money, women, and power. But Tay soon finds that success is not all it's cracked up to be. Jealous tensions eventually build and the same cats he once rolled with now become mortal enemies and try to thwart his rise to power.
