After some disastrous decisions our protagonist, PJ, is at a crossroads. Either continue to cheat, lie, ruin their life and their loved ones –– or make a change. Brotha Abe’s latest short film explores the moment in all young people's lives when they begin to feel the freedom within themselves, sense the myriad of paths opening up before them. PJ experiences the thrill of this for the first time but doesn’t realize how to responsibly take advantage of these opportunities without making others the casualties of their growth.
