Menace II Society

Kaydee “Caine” Lawson and his best friend Kevin “O-Dog” Anderson enter a liquor store to buy some malt liquor, but a Korean cashier and his wife heavily watch and rush them to buy their drinks and leave. As they leave, the cashier tells O-Dog “I feel sorry for your mother,” enraging O-Dog and causing him to kill both the cashier and his wife. O-Dog then takes the surveillance tape, robs the cashier’s wallet and the cash register, and flees with Caine. Caine recalls losing his parents Tat and Karen when he was 10 to an unsuccessful drug deal, and a heroin overdose respectively. Pernell, Tat’s business partner and Caine’s mentor, is jailed and serving life in prison. This led to Caine’s maternal grandparents raising him in the crime-ridden Jordan Downs housing projects.

Years later, Caine graduates high school. To celebrate, Caine and his cousin Harold attend a party, where O-Dog flaunts the surveillance tape to a group of their closest friends, much to Caine’s dismay. Later, when the cousins leave the party, they are carjacked. The carjackers kill Harold and wound Caine. After learning the carjackers’ whereabouts, Caine, O-Dog, and their friend A-Wax locate and execute them, avenging Harold’s death.
