Summertime - kids are home from school and their plotting. Hustlers are trying to find their next source of painless profit and the residents are trying to figure a way out of their problems. Like Nina Simone once said, "Oh Baltimore...ain't it hard just to live" - Seven individuals share their blueprints of ambition and survival in a manner that is overlooked and passed by in today's society. From a high school teen to a grandfather, each of these urban entrepreneurs express their exigency to yield to the street corners, busy intersections and highways as a means of income. Marketing strategies such as a quick cat call, "Ice Cold" or "Cold Ones, Cold Ones" echo the block. Each passing car determines the juncture of their next sale and a future asset.
