Max Greene is no ordinary gay black teen. Well not in the sense that one would imagine an 'ordinary' teen to be. Max is a shy kid that loves music, he craves the opportunity to simply be himself. Unfortunately in the Greene household being himself subjects him to both physical and verbal abuse of a different kind. Max is a great kid, doesn't have the characteristics of being a trouble maker. A superb student in all of his classes, a shining star amongst his peers.

Max's only mistake in life is being different. How different? He may have same sex attractions to other boys in school. But for a growing kid like Max, he doesn't quite know what he desires. But for a father that is super masculine, and despises gay black men. There is only one desire to be had in the Greene household. This desire is to have an unwavering mindset for the opposite sex, any other thought could be met with punishment.

Could Max live a life that he knows he wants? Or is it safer for him to live a lifestyle his father desires of him? Blood will be tested and the truth will be challenged.

This is the fictional story of Max Greene as told by his step-brother.
