Upon returning to Los Angeles to attend his father's funeral, Damon soon learns that in order to claim his share of the family inheritance he must work alongside his brother, Mookie — a former drug-dealer who had previously cost Damon a college scholarship — in keeping the family's long-running gas station in business for at least one year.
