 A rap version of "Saturday Night Fever." B-Rabbit, a wannabe rapper from the wrong side of Detroit s 8 Mile, has problems: he dumps his girlfriend when she tells him she s pregnant; to save money to make a demo tape, he moves into his alcoholic mom s trailer; his job s a dead end, and he s just choked at the local head-to-head rap contest. Things improve when he meets Alex - an aspiring model headed for New York - and a fast-talking pal promises to set up the demo. Then new setbacks: Alex isn t faithful, mom rejects him, rifts surface with his friends, and he s mugged by rivals. Everything hinges on the next rap showdown at the club. Can B-Rabbit pull truth out of his cap?
