Plot.
A clocker is a petty urban drug dealer. The grim realities of clockers'
lives provides the basis for this gritty drama from filmmaker Spike Lee that
offers a potent message calling for poor urban blacks to quit fighting each
other. The story centers on Strike, a 19-year old drug dealer who is first
seen hanging out with his buddies and doing a little business on a bench
in the Brooklyn projects. The trouble really begins when Strike agrees to
help out the local drug lord Rodney by killing one of his rivals. The murder
occurs, but the actual killer is never shown. Later Strike's serious,
hard-working brother Victor confesses to the crime. That should be the
end of that, but it isn't,as homicide detective Rocco Klein doesn't buy
Victor's confession for a second. The policeman becomes obsessed with the
case and his partner Larry goes along for the ride. Klein then begins
harassing his real suspect, Strike. The constant badgering makes it difficult
for Spike to conduct his business, and eventually, even his own pals begin
to suspect him of the killing. Spike is further harassed by both a black cop
and Rodney, who doesn't want Spike horning in on his territory.
