Black Street is about Shane Jackson, an African-American young man that is handed the task of assisting his mother in securing a two hundred and fifty thousand dollar small business loan at the tender age of fifteen. The experience inspires aspirations for a career on Wall Street.
Shane's original mission to work on Wall Street grows into much higher aspirations when the opportunity to become managing director of the most prestigious and profitable trading desk on Wall Street presents itself. In his efforts to create more opportunity for African-Americans on Wall Street he is pushed by a vision of the first all black trading desk on Wall Street, but his dream faces an uphill battle and resistance from Junior, the heir apparent to the executive director position over the trading desk that is currently held by his father Mr. Mackey.
Black Street shows a young man in his zealousness to pursue his dream is haunted by his conscience about some decisions he made that may cost him his job, his friendships, and the love of his life.
