Jamie Kennedy stars as Brad "B-Rad" Gluckman, a spoiled son of a congressman who likes to act black. The plot gets going after B-Rad shows up with his friends and starts rapping at one of his father's press conferences and embarasses him with his antics. Tom Gibbons (Blair Underwood) comes up with an idea to help Bill Gluckman (Ryan O'Neil) with his slumping ratings in the polls and take care of his son B-Rad.
Tom convinces Bill that it would be a good idea to hire a couple of actors to kidnap B-Rad and scare him straight. And Tom does just that by hiring PJ (Anthony Anderson) and Sean (Taye Diggs), two actors who were in an anti-violence commercial with Bill. They get five thousand dollars from Tom and upon the safe return a straightened out B-Rad they would get another twenty five thousand. Sean and PJ are not gang bangers so they come up with a plan to convince PJ's cousin Shondra to help them trick B-Rad. She agrees and Shondra tricks B-Rad into coming with her to meet some top rappers so he could push his demo. PJ and Sean then car-jack Shondra and B-Rad and take them back to her house. They try to get B-Rad to act white but their plan just isn't working out.
They eventually take B-Rad to a night club where Shondra was hanging out with her girlfriend. She gets confronted by her ex-boyfriend Tec who is a hardcore gang banger. B-Rad defends Shondra because he likes her and Tec then thinks that she is sleeping with him. B-Rad is then humiliated at the club during a rap competition and he leaves dejected with Shondra, PJ and Sean. They take him back to the house where he has a dream that makes him believe he should stick to acting the way he is, his true self.
