An afrocentric podcast host goes looking for his idol, Harambe Cornell and has to take care of his 9-year-old son who is dressed like a blueberry.

Synopsis

Lyric Hayes is an afrocentric podcast host in search to find his greatest idol and bestselling author, Harambe Cornell. We meet Lyric in the middle of seducing a hippie yoga instructor on his podcast when he learns she has information that will help him find Harambe Cornell. Unfortunately, he is forced to take care of his nine-year-old son Jacob, dressed in a blueberry costume. Jacob wants to go to his favorite restaurant, Mr. Rainbow’s to compete in a singing competition, but Lyric drags Jacob along on his quest to find Harambe. On the way there he tries to talk his son out of being a blueberry and the value of Harambe’s teachings, just when he is confronted by a jilted ex-lover who seeks a petty revenge. Once they get to Harambe’s house they meet a woman named Grace. Grace later reveals to him that she is Harambe Cornell and asks Jacob to sing the Mr. Rainbows song. Lyric hears the song about being authentic and true to yourself. It is in that moment when Lyric realizes that his biggest teacher isn’t Harambe but his son Jacob
