SYNOPSIS:

A great rapper in his own right, Neil aka King Trick bears a striking resemblance to music legend, Tupac Amaru Shakur. Due to mysterious events in the history of both, questions are raised ... could they possibly have some unknown connection?

The quest to find the truth is initiated by Byron, the son of King Trick, who only recently found out that his father was not dead --- as his mother had misled him to think.

More interested in a family reunion than possible links to a cultural figure that he has negative feelings about, Byron resists the comparison. As time goes by, he starts to question some of the similarities himself.

Neil is encouraged by an agent to perform some Tupac songs during his regular set. The crowd reaction is incredible.

Enemies of the iconic rapper and activist are not sure if Tupac has come back for more, but won't take a chance to let Neil revive the passion that sparked the 'dramacidal revolution'.

Eventually, Neil agrees to a Tupac tribute and even Afeni Shakur (Tupac's mom) comes to see it. At the same time, the enemies do all they can to derail the event.

Although his enemies hire a hit man, try kidnapping, poisoning, stabbing and gunplay ... the show goes on, and is a fitting tribute to this musical icon.

On this journey, the stories of both of these very talented individuals are explored, accompanied by a sterling soundtrack that will rock a generation.
