He struggles with the loss of his younger brother and maintains a strained relationship with his mother, who stays secluded in her room. One day, Fontaine visits Slick Charles, a pimp who owes him money. During their encounter, Slick gets into a heated argument with Yo-Yo, one of his sex workers. Fontaine manages to collect part of the debt but is later shot and killed by a rival dealer named Isaac.
The next morning, Slick is shocked to see Fontaine alive and seemingly unaware of the previous night’s events. Yo-Yo confirms that Fontaine had indeed died, leaving them all baffled. Fontaine recalls witnessing a wounded man being abducted by a mysterious van, which leads them to investigate a nearby house. Inside, they discover an elevator leading to a hidden underground laboratory.
In the lab, a white scientist with an afro reveals that a widespread operation is underway. Slick and Yo-Yo accidentally ingest a white substance they mistake for cocaine, which causes uncontrollable laughter and leads to the scientist’s accidental death. As they explore further, they stumble upon a corpse identical to Fontaine, deepening the mystery.
The story revolves around Fontaine’s life in the Glen, his struggles, and the strange events that unfold after his supposed death. The trio’s discovery of the lab and the cloned corpse sets the stage for a series of unexpected revelations.
