Working out of their van, Black (Master P) and Blue (Johnson) deal in TV sets and boomboxes, but when a driver mistakenly drops off a cell phone shipment, Black and Blue are ready to dial "C" for cash, bringing in both a local hacker (Anthony Boswell) and Black's girlfriend, Lorraine (Gretchen Palmer),who works for a cellular phone company "Cellular Two" and becomes their inside connection. Business is on the upswing, but then the local crime boss, Roscoe (Fiend), and his enforcer, T-Lay (Tommy "Tiny" Lister, Jr.), have a deal go sour and blame Black and Blue. Lorraine's boss Dalton (Frantz Turner) and the FBI are also closing in.
Tagline: A truckload of cell phones... turns into a boatload of cash!
