Skipping class to hang out at video arcades, stealing vinyl records – the boys of “The Wrecking Crew,” Q (Omar Epps), Bishop (Tupac Shakur), Raheem (Khalil Kain), and Steel (Jermaine Hopkins) live for the petty crimes of youth.

It is taken, and following the acquisition of a firearm, the boys of “The Wrecking Crew” are prepared to take what is theirs. But, as the quartet will soon find – power corrupts all things.
