Kevin Ramroop is a twenty-two year old just trying to do what he loves; making soulful and sultry r&b music. As he roams the forest of his childhood, Kevin reflects on the philosophies by which he lives his life, remembering the past while wondering about the future. Drifting in and out of the physical reality of the forest and his own hyper-realistic headspace, he finally makes a discovery about his perspective on the world.
