Studio Synopsis: Since the death of his parents, 17-year-old RashadŐs (Tip Harris) carried the responsibility for himself and his little brother Ant (Evan Ross) squarely on his shoulders. While he does his best to keep Ant in school and out of the trouble thatŐs always lurking just around the corner in their South Atlanta neighborhood, sometimes it seems like a losing battleŃRashad canŐt be everywhere at once, and Ant is dangerously close to falling under the spell of a blinged-out local dealer who promises fast money and the respect Ant dreams of getting. A talented artist, Rashad doesnŐt see any future for himself beyond assisting his Uncle George (Mykelti Williamson) as a janitor after school. The thing is, ŇassistingÓ George actually means doing all the work and seeing none of the cash. Lately it seems the only bright spot in RashadŐs life is New-New (Lauren London). She sees something special in him, something more than he sees. When the two get together, everything begins to change, and RashadŐs future starts to open up for the first time. But New-New has a secret thatŐs getting harder and harder to keep.
