Two young, wild and free music artists O.C. and Rexx (Handsome) went from almost having their dreams come true to losing it all. Once considered to be the next "big thing" in music, but then it all fell apart. Force to start over; they go though the highs and lows of reaching for success. Attempting to climb back, with the help of their friends, to where they once were they must overcome fears and disappoint. And it all takes place in the dog eat dog city of New York.
The group Handsome is an underground hip-hop duo with an eclectic sound. For years they have been trying to "make it" in the business of music. Then they struck gold, with one of hottest mixtape to hit the streets in years. With a huge buzz record companies started to take notice, a bidding war ensued for their sound. Subsequently they were signed to the largest label in the music business. From the start there was a clash between exes at the label and Handsome over creative freedom and money (so the group thought). After 11 months, blood, sweat, tears and an album that was nearly complete. Handsome was dropped from the Label without warning. They were unable to get any of their music back because they did not own their own masters, this was a devastating blow. With no other recourse they released another mixtape experimenting with different sounds, far left of anything that they had ever done. It was an enormous flop which made them question their music and themselves. With no label support and their underground following considering them washed up. They are forced to start from scratch. This is where the story begins.
