Plot: Set along Chicago's Little Village neighborhood, 'On The Downlow' is a new feature based on Chicago filmmaker Tadeo Garcia's award-winning short 'Broken Warning'. 'On The Downlow' is the explosive story of the relationship between Isaac and Angel, two young Latinos involved in a Southside Chicago gang. The decisions these men make and the paths they each take create a trap for them in a community where rules can't be broken and secrets won't be tolerated. With characters that defy stereotyping and a surprising tenderness, On The Downlow is an unconventional look at life in the hood.

Quotes:

Kris Bolin: He'd take off his shorts and I'd take off my bikini and we'd fuck underwater in front of the entire senior class on shore. They just thought that we were two lovers embracing. We could do that now. In front of Roger, Sara... and no one would know.

Charlene Towne: [gasping] The picture! The picture!

Peter Derns: Where'd she get the picture?::Rosemary: It came with the frame. She bought a set-five for $9.99 from Thrifty's.

[last lines]::Peter Derns: Kris. These are the pictures that Charlene was talking about just before she fell and died. I didn't call her that night and tell her that there was an emergency at the bakery. You did... on my behalf. You were going to kill her and pin the murder on me because you knew she was on to you, wasn't she? She knew you didn't go to Stanford. She knew you lied about having a family. And you knew that you weren't going to rise any higher here as long as Charlene was around.::Kris Bolin: I was going to tell you about the picture. I always keep one on my desk... to fend away office hounds. Lots of girl do. Or they wear wedding rings.::Peter Derns: You always have an answer for everything.::Kris Bolin: Come again?::Peter Derns: I said you always have an answer! Why don't you save them for someone else?::Kris Bolin: Peter... we're not gonna go through this again, are we?::Peter Derns: No, Kris. We're not. As president of this company, it's time I start delegating some authority.::[into the intercom]::Peter Derns: Rosemary? Call the police and have security make sure Miss Bolin doesn't leave the building.::[to Kris]::Peter Derns: Oh... and one more thing, Kris. Clean out your desk. You're fired.
