The story

In Atlanta, 15-year-old Cyrus DeBarge is a talented musician and choir director who writes rap lyrics under the alias "Truth" because of his father Pastor Jacob's disapproval of hip-hop and his shy demeanor compared to his more outgoing best friend Kris McDuffy. Unbeknownst to Jacob, Cyrus secretly works as a busboy at a club, "Off the Street", where the music label of their childhood friend, teenage singing sensation Roxie Andrews, is sponsoring a songwriting contest. Roxie chooses Truth's song "Don't Run Away" as the winning entry but misidentifies Kris as Truth because the photo Cyrus submitted was of them both.
