Struggling African-American television writer Tommy Crawford (Nicole Ari Parker) gets her sitcom picked up by the neophyte WPX network through George Washington (Isaiah Washington), an executive hired specifically to develop shows aimed at the black market. But, as the season wears on, Tommy's original high-minded concept slowly devolves into a dumbed-down vehicle for its breakout star, ex-hustler James (Vicellous Reon Shannon), whose ego threatens to capsize the entire project.

Audience Member Great movie. I wish they would do more like this. Funny. I never saw a single promotional ad for this movie. I just stumbled upon it. I saw Isaiah Washington's and Nicole Ari Parker's names when I was searching for something to watch. Really liked it. --Valerie Rose Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This has the feel of a TV movie, but was still good. About black people from all walks of life struggling to find their place in the world. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member this movie was excellent... wonderful acting, great social commentary, well expressed story... not too heavy/preachy.. ntot too light and fluffy - a powerful message.. a beautifully written and executed tale...
