has a son and a daughter by two different women. Jody is a mama’s boy
and when his mom’s new ex-con boyfriend moves in the house, Jody becomes
very defensive and is continually challenging him. His Mom’s previous
boyfriend who moved in kicked his older brother out, who subsequently
ended up dead on the streets and Jody doesn’t want that to happen to
him. Jody is a good man and is continually fighting these battles inside
himself to do whats right by him and his family but just can’t seem to
get over the hump. That is until one night, tensions finally boil over
between he and Rhames. Rhames has been telling Jody there is nothing
Jody has done that he hasn’t and more. Rhames tries explaining the way
of life to Jody, but he won’t have it and Jody takes a swing at Rhames,
who in turn lays him out. Jody leaves the house and circumstances lead
him to eventually having to kill a man, however when the opportunity

where Rhames helps him out and a bond is formed between them and after a
talk with Rhames realizes he has a good life ahead of him with a great
family and he needs to grow up.
