"In Atlanta, Georgia, the capitol of the South, you see so many damn things you would have never imagined. It seems like at night all the freaks come out. You meet so many positive people, and you also meet some fucked up individuals. It's up to you to not be dragged into the negative. It's up to you to not let yourself be consumed by the bullshit the nightlife brings. The nightlife can be intoxicating, and you can get away with just about anything."
-- King Murphy
Madison Collins (KeKe Palmer), a Freshman at Georgia State University, seems to have the total package. She has beauty, brains, and a dream to match it. She is the complete opposite from her best friend King Murphy (August Alsina), who is also a Freshman plays for Georgia State University on the basketball team and is an All American Athlete. After being together practically all their lives as best friends, they continue on to a new journey in college just like their parents did in the past.
Madison's best friend Evelyn Garcia, who she's known practically all her life, (Adrianne Bailon) also has her own problems that she has to overcome with year old boyfriend Jason Bailey (Romeo Miller), who is also apart of this inner circle. With their relationship on the rocks, things start to come to the light. Things that Evelyn would rather keep under wraps.
Along the way these friends encounter many obstacles that could ultimately challenge their relationships. In the city of ATL anything can happen. A group of close knit friends endure the hardships of college, love, deceit, confusion, and pain. With secrets threatening to tear these relationships apart, will this group of people rise above the influence and make it to dawn? Will they overcome the influence of the Georgia Lights?
"You're different from what I expected," she said softly.
"How so?" he asked, glancing at her.
"I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare."
He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."
