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?
