When Leta Evans (Melissa De Sousa), who has dreamed for years of being a music video director, becomes an assistant to a famous director, she wants to make a good impression. Her first job will be transporting the cast of a video from New York to Miami. However, due to a tight budget, they will have to travel by bus. The strict Poppa (Malik Yoba) watches out for the crew, but there is still ample opportunity for trouble -- which could end Leta's directing career before it begins.
