Wanna-be rapper Rich (Jeffrey Sams) jettisons his girlfriend, child and crappy job to pursue his dream. Not long after his arrival in New York City, he meets fellow MC hopeful I-Tick (Ron Brice), whose in-your-face style is very different from Rich's. Thinking that their styles could work together, the two decide to collaborate. But it's not long before I-Tick's violent lifestyle begins to affect Rich -- in a bad way.
