A tightly knit group of working-class Atlanta teens spend their time bonding over hip-hop and roller skating while pondering life after high school in director Chris Robinsons coming-of-age comedy drama that draws inspirations from the real-life childhoods of Dallas Austin and Tionne Watkins. For a kid growing up on the south side of Atlanta, the Cascade roller-skating rink is the place to be seen, and its the place where the orphaned high school senior Rashad (Tip Harris) and his little brother Ant (Evan Ross) go every weekend to forget their financial troubles, hang with their friends and get their groove on. But outside the rink, the brothers have problems they cant avoid: Ant is being recruited into the posse of charismatic drug dealer Marcus (Outkasts Antwan Andre Patton, aka Big Boi). Meanwhile, Rashads three best friends -- including the ambitious Esquire (Jackie Long) -- are pulling him in different directions, and his new girlfriend New-New (Lauren London) may not be as street as she seems. As Rashad tries to hold on to his little brother, he also comes to the realization that if hes ever going to make something of himself, hes going to have to step out of his skates and into the real world. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
