He encounters Hamorabi, a legendary former rapper who hides under the image of the school's kiosk cashier. With his help, Yoav turns from an outcast to the Star of the Battles. But as he climbs high, he draws apart from the friends who stood by his side, the girl who really saw him when no one else had, and the authenticity taught to him by Hamorabi.
