A horror-thriller starring rapper turned actor Snoop Dogg in his first lead role. In this hip and stylish film, notorious street hustler Jimmy Bones (Snoop Dogg) is inadvertently brought back from the dead and seeks revenge on those who killed him over twenty years ago.

In 1979, Jimmy Bones, a legendary protector and patron of his thriving urban neighborhood is betrayed and murdered by those closest to him. Flash forward to the present day. The once elegant brownstone where Bones lived has become an abandoned memorial to him. It is well known that strange happenings surround the house, and those who are foolish enough to enter often don't come out. The sons of Jeremiah (Clifton Powell) one of those who betrayed Bones, move into the house, unaware of the danger. Once they arrive, a series of strange and unexplainable events begin to take place, and it becomes clear that Jimmy Bones is staging a comeback, hell-bent on revenge. But Bones spirit is also drawn back to the world by his love for a woman, Pearl (Pam Grier), and his daughter Cynthia (Bianca Lawson), born after his death.
