Donald is an 18-year-old student who has had a rough life but has stayed positive. T.I. respects Donald for keeping his head up through the hard times and wants to show Donald how he will be rewarded if he stays on the right path.

T.I. surprises Donald at home and tells him to get ready to be a king for the day. Donald gets a "Hollywood cut" from a celebrity barber and then tries on some new clothes from T.I.'s Akoo line. Donald can't choose between the three outfits so T.I. surprises him again and tells him he can take home everything he tried on.

T.I. takes Donald out for dinner that's fit for a king but then takes a serious turn when he tells Donald about his current legal situation. T.I. tells Donald that one mistake can take you back to square one and to stay driven.

To Donald's surprise, T.I. pays for a recording session with music producer Polow Da Don. At first Donald is just playing around in the studio so T.I. tells him to get serious and write some lyrics. Two hours later, T.I. hands Donald a copy of Donald's original song as a gift.

Donald leaves T.I. after a day of being a king and shares his new song with his family. Donald continues to get straight A's in school and is working to pursue his music career and go to college.
