A long-awaited telephone conversation takes place on the driver side of Troy Jr’s Black Nissan Sentra. He explains to his Father that the experience of his parents’ divorce as a child was “one of the worst things that ever happened in his life.” The honesty in those words encourages an intimate revelation of the unspoken narratives and exploration of the upbringing of both parents, his Father Troy Sr and his Mother, Elaine. The unraveling of these stories leads Troy Jr. to the fateful memory of their divorce. Through the narratives of both parents, he finds the courage to piece together his own coming of age story in the midst of those emotions, the lost, and the questioning that plagued him as a young boy. Throughout this journey, Troy Jr. hopes to understand and make sense of all the tears, the joy, the adventures, the hope and the purpose that come along with being an African American boy growing up without the consistent presence of his Father.
