Synopsis

Musical drama. Diamond, an aspiring rapper, is finding his professional life difficult. His personal life is also fraught, exacerbated by the behaviour of his friend, Gage, who has a hair-trigger temper. Diamond and Gage have the job of collecting money on behalf of a British drug dealer, Mr B. The criminal life helps fund Diamond's efforts to produce his debut record, but it is only a matter of time before he realises it is time to find a more legitimate way of making a living.
