When Leta offers to do the assignment for a smaller fee, Bleau decides to have her escort a group of rappers, singers, and showbiz wanna-be's to Miami for a video shoot. The gang, which is kept in line by Poppa (Yoba), gets acquainted on a decaying bus as they travel down the East Coast, encountering barroom fights and other problems en route to the video gig.

    Paralysed

    by: Ride

    Catch me, in another dream, I'm pulled away,
    Hold me, gently take me through another day.
    However hard I try,
    I crawl when I should fly.
    I wander through my days,
    Pulled a million ways.
    Help me feel the forces I can't touch, I'm reaching out.
    Help me learn, until I know too much, I'm still without.
    These circles pulling me near,
    Hold me in my fear.
    And sleeping I can't hide,
    I'm paralysed inside.
