Idea
Mouse (Jahi Di’Allo Winston), un muchacho de 14 años, está desesperado por entrar en una infame banda de moteros llamada "The Midnight Clique" que se adueña de las calles de la ciudad durante el verano. Su hermano mayor, Stro, era su líder antes de padecer una trágica muerte, hecho que ha afectado mucho a Mouse. Tanto su madre (Teyonah Parris) como su mentor, el detective Rogers (William Catlett), trabajan a destajo para conseguir que el carismático adolescente pueda alcanzar todo su potencial, pero todo cambia cuando Blax (Meek Mill), el nuevo líder de la banda, toma a Mouse como su mano derecha. El pequeño no tarda en darse cuenta de la diferencia que existe entre llevar una vida honrada y otra manchada por la violencia y el dinero fácil.

Trixie and Monkey will stop at nothing to take their innovative circus-burlesque act to new creative heights.

On the weekends they travel relentlessly to test-drive their act on stages as varied as Baltimore rock clubs, Vegas casinos, New York City theaters and beyond. Financial uncertainty, physical exhaustion and romantic tension are always looming; leaving them to wonder will they make it as artists, what success even means and will their love survive?
