An African prince decides it’s time for him to find a princess... and his mission leads him and his most loyal friend to Queens, New York. In disguise as an impoverished immigrant, the pampered prince quickly finds himself a new job, new friends, new digs, new enemies and lots of trouble.
Instead of a typical fish-out-of-water tale, this comedy finds its magic in a prince who embraces the chaos of Queens to find true love. The sharp wit and relentless energy turn a simple quest for a bride into a vibrant celebration of identity and culture.
