The plot follows 16-year-old Cyrus DeBarge (Tyler James Williams), a musician with a gift for creating rhymes but lacking the self-confidence to take the stage. After participating in a songwriting contest alongside his best friend Kris McDuffy (Trevor Jackson), Cyrus is named the winner. Due to her fear of the spotlight, Cyrus panics and allows Kris to take credit for her heartfelt lyrics, and while he is in anonymity, Roxie (Coco Jones), Cyrus' crush, begins to fall for Kris.

It started as a simple-minded, very musical rap battle, which was considerably boring, progressed to a teenage "change of characters", and gained more dramatic and critical contours as it went along... Ending with a scathing critique of traditional-conservative-religiousness. Extreme, message of vivacity or individuality, with its differences and freedom of choice, requests for forgiveness, reconciliation, all packed with lots of music, and rap battles... Gostoso...
