To the mothers of his three children, he owes them an explanation for why he wasn't faithful to either of them.

At 18, Dumar Jones can't celebrate the fact that he is graduating from Eldridge Cleaver High School, the largest predominantly black high school in Winston-Salem North Carolina. He is still dealing with the loss of his mother and stepfather in a car accident; not to mention the hell he raised as former leader of the Barions. With just a few months to spend time with his friends before he attends Winston-Salem State University, he contends with the idea of calling Daunte "dad" after not seeing him in almost sixteen years. Will these two men's paths cross at forgiveness or will their distrust for one another lead them further astray?
