The story goes… As radio personality Darren (Rockmond Dunbar) dishes out relationship advice over the airwaves, he struggles to prevent his own marriage to Janet (Vivica A. Fox) from falling apart. Meanwhile, fellow DJ Mike V (Ving Rhames) tries to protect a young woman from getting her heart broken. Mike Epps also stars as a successful author who counsels a married woman (Elise Neal).
