Azùcar is a multi-cultural drama/comedy about a group of friends whose tangled interrelationships, explosive secrets, and sexual infidelities could destroy their precious bond. An aspiring film actress, Nikki “Azùcar†Moreno is struggling with her decision to move to L.A. It won't be easy saying goodbye to her Detroit hometown -- particularly her closest friend and cousin Rosie who is beset by her own problems: she is wildly attracted to the pretty and proper Crystal as well as the dashing Alejandro. Their other friend Jasmine is deeply in love with her boyfriend Dante, but he has an addiction that could lead to deadly consequences. Nikki and Rosie’s roommate Chico is coming to terms with a one night stand whose outcome could affect him forever.
