What happens

Snow on tha Bluff is a 2011 American found footage drama film directed by Damon Russell. It stars Curtis Snow, a real-life Atlanta "robbery boy" and drug dealer, playing a fictionalized version of himself, as he gets into various dangerous and criminal situations. The title references an Atlanta neighborhood colloquially known as The Bluff, which is infamous for crime and drug dealing. "Snow" is a double entendre for both the protagonist (Curtis Snow) and cocaine. The film gained a following within the hip hop community due to its verisimilitude. Actor Michael K. Williams, who was an executive producer on the film, stated, "everything that is wrong with the hood, is in this movie". An unauthorized sequel, Snow on tha Bluff 2, starring Snow and Snoop Dogg, was released direct-to-video in 2015. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
