Summer G (Richard T. Jones), an aspiring rapper, finds himself enamored with a young woman named Sky Hightower (Chenoa Maxwell), an ambitious social climber who is wary of Summer's low-class status. Although she rejects him for Chip (Blair Underwood), who works in the lucrative world of finance, that only pushes Summer to work even harder to make himself a wealthy and important man -- someone Sky will love. However, he encounters problems from both the old money guard and from Sky herself.
