Genre: Drama, Coming-of-Age

​

Aspiring rapper, Rome, has all the talent and vision, but his crippling
insecurity prevents him from sharing his music without a celebrity co-sign. When he learns that megastar producer Richie Hill will be making an appearance in Toronto’s Parkdale neighbourhood, Rome devises a plan to get his album into Richie’s hands.

​

However, disaster strikes when Rome’s apartment is burgled, and his only copy of the album is stolen.

​

With the help of his activist-artist friend Jenaya, Rome sets out on a frantic mission to track down his four producers and reassemble his album. As they scour the gentrifying city, Rome struggles with self-doubt, while Jenaya challenges his need for industry approval, advocating for art that is as accessible as it is expressive.

​

Hijinks ensue and their relationship is tested, but when Rome finally comes face to face with Richie Hill, he has a tough choice to make: finally pitch for that industry co-sign or take a leap of faith and bet on himself?
