Welcome to any Black household in ghetto America; welcome to Kevin McCall’s world…

Forget falling out of love; his parents fought their way out of love and into a deep soul searing hate, with the only hate Kevin knowing worse than his parents was what his brother Leonard had for him. Leonard’s hatred was so black and evil that it was a God’s Mercy away from Kevin being dead from it. And through this Kevin managed to SMILE.
And like love, hate knows no bounds as ‘you just like your damn daddy’ cursed Kevin from his mother’s lips. Leaving Kevin struggling to decide if it was actually him or the Pop-Pop (Kevin’s father) in him that his mother was growing to hate. And even with an indifferent mother Kevin still managed to SMILE.
Unknown to all, Kevin’s smile was just a painted on happy face that he used to mask away the pain of a horrible secret; a secret so dark that it swallowed Kevin whole. Now he’s lost and has become that horrible thing that has consumed him, leaving behind that ever present smile minus its joy. And they say that weeping may endure for a night and joy comes in the morning; but for Kevin morning is always a day away…
Follow Kevin’s coming of age story as it takes him on a journey of what looks like the life of a typical curious child that gives way to a struggling teenager, only ending up as a lost man alone at the cross roads of life’s right and wrong.
