Bobby G. Can't Swim (1999)

Stalking the gritty streets of Hell's Kitchen, Bobby G. ekes out a precarious existence as a small-time cocaine dealer in this raw and vivid New York street drama. Struggling to find success in an unforgiving underworld, Bobby shares his life with Lucy, a Puerto Rican lady of the night, both trapped in a world of hustle and survival. An ordinary day of peddling $20 bags to local junkies and passing motorists takes an electrifying turn when a yuppie kid seeking a kilo of coke crosses his path. Bobby smells the tantalizing scent of a big break - a chance to escape the grind and make a fortune. His dreams of 'living large' tantalizingly close, he brokers a perilous deal with Astro, a notorious high-level drug lord. Lucy, longing for a fresh start, announces her plans to return to Puerto Rico, urging Bobby to join her. However, Bobby's head is filled with visions of a prosperous future, and he's chained to his risky gamble. As the deal day dawns, things spiral out of control as the nervous client bails, leaving Bobby with a kilo of cocaine but no cash. Now, he must scramble to gather the money to repay Astro or face deadly consequences. In a desperate bid to survive, Bobby turns to Dollar Bill, an old acquaintance who introduces him to a mob figure in need of a hitman. Never having fired a gun, Bobby is thrust into a world of violence and crime, his mind spiraling into a shock-induced haze as he carries out the unthinkable act. As Bobby teeters on the brink of madness, he embarks on a bizarre journey towards redemption, involving a homeless woman, the murky depths of the Hudson River, and a blind street-peddler named Popeet. An intense ride through the dark underbelly of New York, Bobby G. Can't Swim is a touching tale of a man's quest for salvation, reminding us that fate is a fickle mistress, as quick to bestow gifts as she is to snatch them away.
