About this episode

The original TONK movie. Based on the cardgame from Harlem, Royb, a staunch New York Knick Fan and potential Morpheus-esque messenger, leads a group of kids in Oakland on a pathway full of intrigue and mystery. They try balloons, play musical chairs, and seem to endlessly recite lines from rap music. Stevie Bread is incapable of saying anything not recited from a line of hip hop. When Amanda plays her cards out of integrity she crashes. She has a balloon and acknowledges her misstep. Back to the card game, she replays her hand and gets to relive her experience. Amanda has just begun her path of shamanic healing and her methods are tried against the musical backdrop of Elvis Presley, Blackalicious, Saul Williams, Snoop Dogg, and the Digital Underground. This is where a game of cards meets helium. Where nitrous oxide is insinuated. Where the most important thing is winning, but where winning means being true to yourself.
