Description
Seventeen-year-old Shine dreams of escaping Charleston through music, but life tightens around him when his little sister, Angela, suddenly collapses and falls into a coma. The doctors reveal a rare brain aneurysm that requires a $320,000 surgery - money his family doesn't have and insurance won't cover.
As his mother breaks under the weight of fear and bills, Shine is pulled into the streets he tried to avoid. With his homeboys, Blow and T-Man, he plans a dangerous robbery to save Angela's life. While Big Mo, Charleston's quiet king of the streets, keeps a close eye on him, Shine finds himself standing at the crossroads of survival, loyalty, and desperation.
Caught between the promise of rap success, the pressure of poverty, and the love for his little sister, Shine must make choices that could change everything, and there's no turning back once the line is crossed.
