Built in the early part of the 20th century, even by the 1960’s it was already the stuff of legend. The plan is to rob the Hotel Theresa, an actual and quite legendary part of the black experience of Harlem which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in the early 21st century. Of course, this story is set in the 1960’s when there weren’t as many movies about heists that can’t go wrong and pay off big time to teach the valuable lesson that things almost always go wrong and rarely pay off big. Ray’s cousin Freddie shows up with plans for simple heist that can’t possibly go wrong and is guaranteed to pay off big time. That hot summer night in June is going to change a lot of things about Ray’s plan and it is complicated by the fact that part of that genetic heritage is the stimulant. If only he didn’t have those dang genes of his. Ray is a hard worker and basically honest for the most part. He married a girl with a snotty dad who takes a typical elitist view of anyone who fails to make money the old-fashioned way: inheriting it. Ray has another problem to deal with besides his furniture store not exactly setting the world on fire. And so, when that fateful hot night in Harlem comes, Ray is ripe with the genetic predisposition to at least dabble in the criminal ways of his ancestry, Even so, not everybody needs to buy their furniture in Harlem from just one store. It is what separates man from the animals.
Because, you know, everybody needs furniture eventually.
The Carney clan is not one with the most spotless reputation in Harlem, but Ray has dedicated himself to ending the madness. Ray Carney comes from a long line of Carneys who may not have been a crooked as your typical carny, but certainly got pretty close. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.Įverything starts going haywire for Ray Carney one typically miserable hot night in June in Harlem.
