Urban Princess is a contemporary love story of a teenage couple and their relationship. It deals with innocent first love, preconceived notions of urban people, and suburban life. When Marc Lindsay, a Beverly Hills preparatory school student, participates in community service in South Los Angeles, the last thing he expects to find is love. Sparks fly when he meets Lisa Banks, a certified nursing assistant and aspiring dancer. In order to win her over, Marc hides his true identity, posing as a streetwise "hood" by day while living in his prep school world at night. Both learn that not all things are as they appear as they struggle to overcome stereotypes and define who they really are.
