He robs some drug dealers and returns to using heroin. His enemy Tank (Tupac Shakur) is also on the lookout for Bullet in revenge for Bullet taking his eye when together in prison. Bullet goes back home to his disfunctional Jewish family and his mentally ill brother Lewis. Bullet must battle not only Tank in this movie but his own inner demons.
