Intro. A local park basketball court. The late afternoon sun casts long shadows as Darius "Dae" Jefferson, 22, dressed in a faded graphic tee, fitted jeans, and high-top sneakers, stands by the sidelines, wired headphones around his neck. His long dreadlocks are tied back in a loose bun. He's watching a pickup game, occasionally humming an old R&B tune under his breath. His friends, MALIK (23) and CHRIS (22), are on the court.

Darius "Dae" Jefferson.
