“When the beat drops, real life plays next.”

After years of quiet sacrifice, single mother Toi Trenee decides to reconnect with her teenage son by learning how to DJ. What starts as a gesture of love turns into a passion she never expected—her mixes go viral, bookings flood in, and she's invited to perform at South by Southwest.

But while Toi's sound is rising, her son Ferris is falling.

A devastating loss at a school talent show—made worse by betrayal from his best friend Vandell—pushes Ferris into a dangerous circle where jealousy, ego, and silence rule. The streets don’t call themselves anything… but everybody knows who the YN’s are.

As violence creeps closer to home and secrets mount, Toi must choose between chasing her dream and saving her son. But saving him may cost her everything.

The YN’s is a gritty, emotionally charged urban drama rooted in real family dynamics, the cost of fame, and the quiet moments where everything changes.

Fans of Juice, Moonlight, and Lean on Me will be drawn to this unforgettable story about mothers, music, and the pain of growing up fast.
