Understanding that he could possibly continue the cycle and end up like his father, who is currently serving a life sentence in prison, Octavious learns to put all that consumes him in rhymes along with his beat making best friend Demarcus.

Together they pool their resources and determination to record music. Nonetheless, things begin to get shaky once Octavious’s mother Angela becomes aware of his double life. Under those circumstances, she puts him out of the house. Shortly after, he takes shelter with Demarcus and his grandmother. A young lost soul just trying to get through life, Octavious finds purpose upon meeting the charismatic, entrepreneur Brother Will. On the positive side, Brother Will helps sponsor his pursuit of becoming the big rap star.

In the meanwhile, Octavious finds a new love interest, Brooklyn, who helps him balance his life out. At the same time, Octavious decides to dedicate himself full time to his music. All while facing conflict in his relationship with his mother, foes from his street life, and most of all within himself.
