Trey grew up in the same neighborhood as Carole and LaTisha. He is in college when he shows up at teenage LaTisha’s house party and sexually assaults Carole. Years later, he asks LaTisha out and sexually assaults her as well, leaving her pregnant with her third child, Jordan. At ten, Jordan is already a troublemaker, which LaTisha believes he inherited from Trey. Trey’s story reveals the ways in which men perpetuate violence against women.
