For a kid growing up on the south
side of Atlanta, the Cascade roller-skating rink is the place to be seen, and
it's the place where the orphaned high school senior Rashad (Tip Watkins) and
his little brother Ant (Evan Ross) go every weekend to forget their financial
troubles, hang with their friends and get their groove on. But outside the rink,
the brothers have problems they can't avoid. Ant is being recruited into the
posse of charismatic drug dealer Marcus. Meanwhile, Rashad's three best friends,
including the ambitious Esquire (Jackie Long), are pulling him in different
directions, and his new girlfriend New-New (Lauren London) may not be as
"street" as she seems. As Rashad tries to hold on to his little brother, he also
comes to the realization that if he's ever going to make something of himself,
he's going to have to step out of his skates and into the real world.
