Sacrifices are always meant for the greater good; real question is who pays the price... Maurice Mayo born and raised in Washington, D.C. as a troubled, confused boy brutally forced into a lifestyle with no guidance. He struggles to understand the ropes of his spiritual faith and the consequences of his decisions. Maurice finds security and comfort with his girlfriend, Lauren as she is left in the dark of his double life and his parents don't seem to understand the battle that is eating at Maurice inside. Left out in a world so cold, Maurice moves with his Aunt Chocolate and pays where he lays his head. Rocky, a thuggish pimp, has a soft eye for young Maurice as he shows him the finer things in life. Constantly running from the battle inside him, cocaine and liquor seem to be the only remedy to silence his inner thoughts. Shhhh, not a word, as Maurice is the victim to a predator lurking through his adolescence he didn't see coming. Maurice, a mere boy that only ever wanted the simple things in life learns that beauty always comes at a price. He learns you can run but no matter what you do you can never hide. As Maurice races to beat the clock to get his life back together, he realizes that time is not on his side. "Oh blue jay, my sweet little blue jay, With tears of sorrows and troubles follow Cry blue jay, Cry the song of Tears."
