Film Synopsis
Tamia and Kadeem are seemingly cut from two different cloths. She's a high-powered attorney and he washes cars for a living. After re-evaluating her options from the "dating pool", she agrees to go out with him. But advice from her opinionated girlfriends and flirtatious younger sister leaves her wondering just how things would be if she and Kadeem got together. Will she take a chance on a blue-collar brother, or allow her friends to cloud her judgment?
