 Victor Rosa (John
Leguizamo) is all about the mighty dollar and fashions himself
as a businessman on par with Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Bill
Gates. With an iron fist, he runs a successful "street pharmaceutical"
business that peddles a heroin mix he has named Empire. His beautiful
fiancée, Carmen, a Baruch College student, befriends a
classmate with an investment-banker boyfriend, Jack Wimmer. Victor
meets Jack, and they instantly connect. Both are hard-core businessmen
from two different sides of the legal fence. When Jack offers
Victor a piece of the action on the stock market, he sees his
ticket out of the violent streets of the South Bronx and jumps
at the opportunity. But there is a bigger price to be paid than
clean money for his gorgeous new Soho lifestyle. For the first
time, Victor is confronted with a price tag that he will find
difficult to pay.
