First we see the survivors are trying to figure out what to do now that they’ve survived the night. Someone suggests calling the police. After a moment, they all laugh and think of another solution. Next we find Dewayne going over his idea of calling the firemen because “they won’t shoot you.” We hear sirens approaching, and then the group is hit by a stream of water from a firehose.

It’s been more than 10 years since our last appointment at Calvin’s Barbershop. Calvin (Ice Cube) and his longtime crew, including Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer), are still there, but the shop has undergone some major changes. Most noticeably, our once male-dominated sanctuary is now co-ed. The ladies bring their own flavor, drama and gossip to the shop challenging the fellas at every turn. Despite the good times and camaraderie within the shop, the surrounding community has taken a turn for the worse, forcing Calvin and our crew to come together to not only save the shop, but their neighborhood.
