The original music by Igor Stravinsky is used to tell the story of an up-and-coming rap and soul artist in the Bronx, New York that is offered a contract by a major music label. Without thinking twice, he signs on the dotted line but later realises that his soul, his voice, his authenticity, and his identity have been lost, he has signed a contract and sold his soul to the devil.
