In pursuit of the American Dream they struggle to assimilate in a mainly white community of Orlando. Though the father seams to embrace the opportunity, the rest of the family feels quite a culture shock. The main protagonist in the series is a hip-hop loving 12-year-old Eddie, who, with the help of his two younger brothers, is determined to assimilate in his new school and neighborhood.
