Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

Pressured into becoming a stereotypical thug rapper in order to get a record deal and mainstream air play, an ambitious young artist from "The 305" (aka Miami) begins to question whether fame is worth the price of admission when drugs, guns, sex, and money start to take priority over music. Nate Harris has the drive to be a superstar, but in order for that to happen he will have to compromise his integrity. When Nate embraces the gangsta rapper lifestyle as Nemesis, success comes swiftly. But when the stakes prove to be greater than Nate ever anticipated, he begins to question whether making a mint and topping the charts is really worth dying for.
