Wassup Rockers is about a group of Salvadoran and Guatemalan teenagers in South Central Los Angeles who, instead of conforming to the hip hop culture of their gang infested neighborhood, wear tight pants, listen to punk rock,and ride skateboards. Avoiding the violence of their dangerous home turf is an everyday challenge. The Rockers decide to travel by bus to skate the world famous "Nine Stairs" at Beverly Hills High School. There they meet some local girls, attracted to the "punks" from the ghetto, but the day quickly goes bad as they're hassled by rich boys from the neighborhood and rousted by the Beverly Hills Police. Trying to escape arrest by the cops and fights with the local kids, the Rockers run from house to house and yard to yard in this wealthy and foreign world, looking for a way to get home.
