It's a late summer night in South Los Angeles, and teenage brothers EARL and ANTOINE are making a rather unusual late-night drop. On the eve of their GRANDFATHER's funeral, they're tasked with delivering his MASON RING to the funeral home in a last-ditch effort to get it on his finger before the service the following morning.
