When D Foster walks into Neeka and her best frienda (TM)s lives, their world opens up. D doesna (TM)t have a a oereala mom constantly telling her what to do, and the girls envy her independence. But D wants nothing more than to feel connected, and the three girls form a tight bond a" and a passion for the music of Tupac Shakur. Da (TM)s the one who understands Tupaca (TM)s songs best, and through her, his lyrics become more personal for all of them.
After Tupac is shot the first time, the girls are awed by how he comes back stronger than ever. And seeing how Tupac keeps on keeping on helps when Neekaa (TM)s brother is wrongly sent to jail and Da (TM)s absent mom keeps disappointing. But by the time Tupac is shot again, the girls have turned thirteen and everythinga (TM)s changed, except their belief in finding their Big Purpose.
