In an essentially all-white Iowa town, Flip daydreams of being a hip-hop celebrity, hanging with Snoop Doggy Dogg and also Dr. Dre. He practices in front of a mirror and with his 2 buddies, James and Trevor. He speaks Black vernacular, he dresses Black. He's also a would-be pusher, marketing flour as cocaine. As well as while he talks about "maintaining it genuine," he rarely notifications reality around him: his dad's been laid off, his mommy utilizes Food Stamps, his partner is expectant, James might be psychotic, one of his close friends (one of the town's few Black youngsters) is getting ready for college, as well as, on a trip to Chicago to shop medicines, the cops fire genuine bullets. What will it consider Flip to get actual?
