the film
Cynthia,
is a young girl who tries to ease the pain of loneliness,
shyness and ghetto life by hiding in her diary. In her
mind, she's a star - but in life, she's invisible, unavailable,
buried under a pair of headphones, and battling her
own insecurities. Her older brother Juan has a drug
problem, and he's supporting his habit by stealing Cynthia's
written words and selling them as rap lyrics to an MC
named "Deuce," a rapper whose ego far outweighs
his talent.
