In underground clubs across the country there is an undiscovered phenomenon called Slam Poetry where talented poets fresh off the street go to war with each other over words. One night, during one of these rants, a talented poet, JAKE THOMPSON, is discovered by an attractive editor, MARNI ELLIOT, looking for new poets. But when their relationship falls apart, Jake chases the dream in dark and seedy nightclubs as he watches super hipster David Sky soar to fame and fortune. After hitting rock bottom, he finally realizes that love is more than words and sometimes you have to fight for the ones you love.
