Discarded
Ripped from the streets and forced to go to college, Jamal Bailey is used to playing by someone else's rule book. He's completely unprepared when he's called home when his grandmother falls ill and their house is repossessed. Determine to salvage their possessions; Jamal must face all his old acquaintances, opportunist and vultures. He also is forced to go down memory lane with his best friend, his absentee father and the girl he left behind amidst the ruins of his life. When you lose everything, demands are still made and debts both emotional and financial remain to be paid.
