Then he stumbles into an abandoned crackhouse and meets Kelly, a mysterious man who wants to know everything about Lil J's life, from his drug-addicted mother to his failed rap group. But most importantly, Kelly wants to know this: if Lil J could go back in time to change one thing about his past, what would it be?
