[edit] Plot Synopsis

In the year 1979 Jimmy Bones was a drug kingpin respected and loved as the neighborhood protector. When he is betrayed and brutally murdered by a corrupt cop, Bones' elegant brownstone building becomes his tomb. Fast forward to 2001, during which the neighborhood becomes a ghetto, and his home has turned into condemned ruin. Four teens bought the property and renovated it as a nightclub, encountering a black dog who is actually the spiritual manifestation of Jimmy's tortured spirit. Once he was resurrected, Jimmy was intent on having revenge on those responsible for his death, those who betrayed him, and any who gets in his way.

The movie is notorious for having a very brutal scene where one of the 4 teenagers is eaten by the black dog.^{[citation needed]}
