When he gets to high school, it doesn’t take long before his secret insatiable desire to dance on the dark side becomes his reality. After graduating from Howard University, he gives Corporate America a try. After getting a bad shake at the Marriott, he is forced to turn in his letter of resignation before he gets terminated. In the following months, he finds a job doing what he loves most—barbering. It’s a dream job, but the temptation to get back into the hustle game soon overcomes him. During that next year, he spirals downward, deeper and deeper than he ever has before. When his actions lead him into jails and mental institutions, he quickly discovers that when you’re behind the wall, “there ain’t no love,” especially when you have been branded with the stigma of being mentally ill. In this story of love, losses, and mental illness, Rohan, a gambler, lays all his cards on the table when he finds himself believing murder is the only way out of a vicious cycle of lies and betrayal. As time grows nearer to his release, he finds himself struggling to decide if he will go back to being best friends with the people who hurt him the most or if life will take him down a different road. It is then that he finds himself asking the age long question “Who can I run to when I need love?”
