Plot: Appropriately named "Zoo", the film represents how some just happen to live a wild life. Based in Newark, New Jersey, Terrance "Mustaffa" Dent was a straight laced teenager until he discovered how easily money could be obtained in the streets. His love of easy money led him to become the founder and leader of a drug ring called "Zoo Crew", which laundered drug money throughout a slew of businesses all over the city. The movie differs from other gangster movies as the main character starts to see how he could actually do good in the community, instead of potentially destroying it. The film represents a man's inner struggle from both sides of the good vs. evil spectrum.

Genres: Comedy, Romance,I don't do this sort of thing, I said
As he leaned in and ran his fingers through my hair
I could see he didn't believe me
And I could tell from his sweet smile he didn't care
He slipped his hand under my skirt
And for a moment I looked deep into his eyes
I didn't see much in there
Apart from an emptiness I sadly recognized
Let me take you far away from here, he said
I know some magic that is sure to pick you up
I thought of me alone in my cold hotel bed
And I said, yeah, well, why not
He took me back to where he lives
We had a drink and tried to start a friendly chat
But neither of us felt much like talking
About the lives that we were there to forget
And so he laid me on the bed
And we undressed; the street lights sliced us through the blinds
His skin felt warm against my body
But my body couldn't hold on to my mind
I drifted far away above this stranger's room
My thoughts walked down the crowded streets of yesterday
Until he stopped and asked if he had come to soon
I shook my head and turned away
We laid a little while in silence
‘Til I got up, got dressed and splashed cold water at my face
I better go, I said politely
