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.

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?

"I... Am here to see you.", I told him as I placed my hands around his neck. I could feel my heart beat getting faster but I had to keep it strong if I had to survive this scenario. "What?", Brandon asked completely startled. I leaned in more closer to him. The only good thing in this entire scene was that he wasn't pushing me back due to my creepy behaviour. "Oh... Bran, I was missing you so much, I just... I needed to see you.", I said as I came up with lie. "Are you drunk?", Brandon asked as he leaned in closer trying to smell my mouth. Thank God Fel had given me her mint gum only moments before I went commando and came inside the locker room. "What?", I scoffed still standing extremely close to Brandon. "I just.... I was missing your gorgeous face.", I told another lie. But wait? His face is gorgeous so that isn't a lie. And was I not missing seeing him? I noticed Brandon who just had his eyes popped out of his socket with bewilderment at my words. I decided to peck him on the cheek before I storm out of the locker room. I leaned ahead to peck Brandon who moved his face in my direction and instead of his cheeks, our lips crashed. Brushing against each other, our lips touched. I could feel fireworks exploding inside my entire body.
