โฆ Synopsis
The start of our story begins in a place called Rebellion, found after the journey through the rough and troubled path of a teenager's mind.Fights. Parties. Supernatural appearances?Remel Brathwaite grows to be knowledgeable in almost each one of these fields and he's paved a way in which he can find no joy or success. Certainly, it seems as if he is journeying to a set end on a path with no alternative choices.Until one day...There is the appearance of a metaphorical light that calls him to do something meaningful; something that means more than the life that he lives within the inescapable pit which he has let himself fall into. Yet it seems, in line with all reason, that he has gone mad. Can this be a reality? Whilst his past-life disappears behind him, Remel is allowing himself to follow the words of a mystical stranger named 'King Keys' for the sake of change and revolution.
