After sharing a joint, Rob learns that the car JJ's driving is stolen and then flees the scene after JJ gets into a gun battle with the police who've pulled them over. After laying low for a while, Rob visits his indignant girlfriend, Juanita (N'BUSHE WRIGHT), and then heads home to see his mother (STARLETTA DuPOIS) and father, "Pops" (GEORGE WALLACE). While his mom is concerned but happy to see him, his father gets after him to the point that Rob decides to leave home.
Things get worse for Rob as local police detective Jenkins (DAVID ALAN GRIER) eventually figures out Rob's identity, while Tone is after him as well for not backing up JJ who's now in the hospital with a gunshot wound to the butt.
With the help of Mike (E40), a local entrepreneur and Dahlia (MO'NIQUE), a woman with a vital piece of evidence, Rob tries to clear his name while avoiding Tone, Jenkins and the rest of the LAPD.
Women are seen as sexual objects or "bitchy" characters throughout the film, some of the characters are criminals or participate in illegal behavior, and several characters smoke marijuana in various scenes. Some drinking and smoking are also present.
The film takes a casual/humorously intended look at crime and criminals, while some violence also occurs in the form of being hit, shot at or, in one case, shot in the butt (with a little bit of blood). A running gag throughout the film includes an uncle repeatedly farting and everyone reacting to the smell.
