Sometimes we have to lose to win again and teenage Mona-Lisa Middleton learns that lesson the hard way as her boyfriend Todd Waters causes her to sacrifice her love for his dreams. Being a young up- and- coming rapper in the game, Todd chose his career over his responsibilities based on the advice of his manager Delano Dawson. Delano was abandoned by his mother at birth; and had never formed an affinity for the fairer sex. Life was always about what made him happy and that was all that mattered until he met Mona-Lisa. Could the bad advice he gave his protégé turn out to be his blessing or will it be another curse on the streets of Atlanta?
