Sofia and Malcolm are a couple of teenage graffiti artists (taggers) from the Bronx who set their hearts on the twenty year somewhat impossible challenge to ‘bomb the apple’ i.e. spray paint the NY Met’s notorious giant apple that is shown every time they hit a home run. This sweet naive pair believe that when they achieve this, then the notoriety will bring them fame and untold wealth. The first obstacle they must overcome is to actually get into the Stadium, which a bent Security Guard can arrange for them for a $500 ‘fee’.
For these small time street hustlers this is a huge sum of money and they have just two days to somehow get this together. Sofia a fierce foul-mouthed tomboy tries to collect on monies owed to her, and sell off the cans of spray paint they had stolen from the store, and hawk a cell-phone a cell-phone she had ‘relieved’ from a kid, but with a string of unprecedented bad luck she loses far more than she gains. Malcolm, an overly-confident gentle harmless youth, meanwhile sets about delivering some ‘weed’ for the small drug dealers he works for occasionally, and when he discovers that his customer is an ultra spoilt wealthy young woman he sets about seducing her and robbing her too. She’s game for the first part, but they get disturbed and he has to go back to try to complete the plan.
