The film is about an internationally famous model, Tony "Wise" Good (who is played by Tariq Alexander), that fought his way out of the inner city and rocketed straight to the top. But his swift rise to the top didn't take him high enough to protect him from the sudden fall he experiences. The corrupt corporate world, the government's support and participation in that corruption, and the jealousy and greed of people he knew best, all leading to a rapid downward spiral into a living hell.
