"Blue Hill Avenue" is a 2001 crime film, directed by Craig Ross Jr., and starring Allen Payne. Ross also wrote, edited, and produced the film.

Plot

Blue Hill Avenue focuses on the rise of the drug trade in Boston, as seen through the eyes of five childhood friends. In the late '70s, Tristan (Payne), Money (Spears), E-Bone (Johnson), Simon (Taliferro) and T.Bone (Dylon Ta-Fari Bennett) are all high-school pals and petty thieves on the mean streets of the city's South Side. Their antics bring them to the attention of Benny (Clarence Williams III), a charismatic drug dealer who takes the four boys under his wing. The most straight-and-narrow of the bunch, Tristan manages to keep his nefarious trade under the radar of his parents. As the years pass, however, the dealers introduce crack to their line of narcotics, and Tristan's sense of guilt over his neighborhood's demise leads to an inevitable betrayal of Benny, followed by a grisly showdown.

Tagline: "The American Dream. Earn it. Buy it. Kill for it."
