In underground clubs around the country is an undiscovered phenomenon called Slam Poetry where gifted poets fresh off the street go to war with each other through words. One night during one of these rants a gifted poet, Jake Thompson is discovered by an attractive publisher, Marni Elliot looking for a new talent. Jake thinks he's got it made, but when their relationship turns sexual, a dark secret is revealed and Jake realizes that love is more than words and that sometimes you have to fight for the ones you love.
