One of the hottest shoplifters in Boston, Niecy "boosts" the best stuff from the best stores and sells it to steady customers in her own underground economic system. A sharp, smart businesswoman to her colleagues in the lifting business, with a day job at an upscale department store, she still can't escape the little girl inside who craves her needy mother's love. And Elaine, her mother, is a poster-child for dysfunctional families. After an abusive childhood, she looks to her daughter to fulfill her wants and needs. And what Mommy wants, Niecy will try to get... In a stylish take on the cult of the material girl, directors DeMane Davis and Khari Streeter (Black & White & Red All Over, NDNF 1997) juggle crime story and family drama with startling results.
