Skylar Wright is an average brother that grew up under the poverty line in Washington DC. His story is about dreams that come true. No one believed him when he told them that he would be a famous street poet. He told them that one day he would get the money and he would bag the baddest R and B solo singer and make her his queen. They didn't believe him when he said he would be the baddest writer ever!
They said he couldn't do it but he made liars out of everyone. Skylar was the baddest. In every way imaginable. His abrasive attitude was a gift and a curse. People loved him on the streets but they hated him in the industry. This story is the new Poetic Justice as Skylar, a rebel on a mission seeks to find out more about himself and life. He's trying to manage a Hollywood type of life while keeping the tabloids out of his relationship with his famous girlfriend. Skylar gets in all sorts of trouble and eventually loses his career, his girl, and his money - to make things worse, his estranged father that Skylar has never met comes back into the picture. Despite adversity Skylar begins to learn what life is about, determined to put his life back together before time runs out, but he must do it carefully as not to lose the things that are important to him.
