A lighthearted 90s romance-comedy built around a charismatic rapper's pursuit of a good girl, with a subplot of witness protection danger that never quite overshadows the playful central love story.

Freewheeling, motorcycle-riding musician Johnny rolls into a small town with his band, and meets Kathy, an honor student who catches his eye. Meanwhile, Kathy's father, after being in the Witness Protection Program, is finally tracked down by two corrupt cops he escaped from years ago, who want the money he owes them.
