Description: Karima "C.R.E.A.M." Thomas, who has been held as an accomplice in the murders of two drug dealers, is acquitted based on the deathbed confession of her lover, Duane Faison.

She suspects that her mother was murdered, and when the police won't listen, she takes matters into her own hands.
