Lift

Kerry Washington stars in this crime drama as Niecy, a young African-American woman who lives in inner-city Boston but works at Kennedy's, an upscale department store. Her job at a fashionable high-end clothing store is no accident--Niecy is an ambitious, intelligent, and stylish young woman who possesses a taste for the finer things in life. To get them, she has become a startling proficient shoplifter who filches clothes and credit cards with equal aplomb. However, when Niecy is lured into a risky scheme to steal a small fortune in diamonds with a local gang, she finds that life as a criminal may not be the best choice for her.
