Jimmy 'B. Rabbit' Smith, Jr. (Eminem) is a shy, white boy growing up in a predominantly poor, black neighbourhood in Detroit. He lives with his mother (Basinger), the epitome of white trash, in her trailer. He wears the bluest of blue collars working in a car-stamping plant, an industry shrinking as the economy becomes progressively hopeless. Basically, only people who secure the rare and elusive recording contract can escape this cycle of poverty and, in doing so, secure their uncertain future.
At local club The Shelter, a breeding ground for this kind of talent, there is a cadre of wanna-bes, climbing over each other to 'get a deal'. The concept of the shelter is simple: create a freestyle rap and face off against another rapper in a 'battle'. People come from all over the state to display their talent and to battle until only one is left. Rabbit, himself a talented freestyle rapper, lacks the courage to enter the competition. When his closest friend Future (Phifer) believes in him enough to sign him up for a battle, Rabbit can't muster the required bravery and chokes on stage. Before long he discovers that despite what everybody says, the only person he can count on is himself. So he has to build up the courage and to take his gift for rhymes to the masses.
