Jackson (Forest Whitaker) is a naïve accountant at a Harlem funeral parlor who's slightly on the pious side. But when sexy vamp Imabelle (Robin Givens) hits town with a trunk full of stolen gold, Jackson's world takes a spin. When Imabelle's "business partners" arrive -- hot on her heels -- Jackson desperately turns to his estranged stepbrother, Goldy (Gregory Hines), the only person who has the street smarts to get them out of the jam.
