A down-and-out Detroit youth with a dead-end job and an unstable home life pursues a career as a rap artist. Rabbit has just been dumped by his girlfriend, forcing him to move back in with his emotionally unstable mother.

But as a white rapper, Rabbit struggles to be taken seriously in a predominantly black musical tradition.
