Details

Lil J is on the run. The police think he shot a cop, and with no way to prove his innocence, Lil J's future looks bleak. 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?
