Plot

Isaiah Wright enjoys playing basketball and video games with his friends. One day while playing video games, his mother Cynthia asks her son to help her with carrying the groceries, which he doesn't hear at first until his video game is over. His mother wants him to get a job since he has graduated high school, implying he skipped out on college. Isaiah doesn't want to go look for a job, but Cynthia threatens to kick him out of the house. He starts looking for jobs the next day, eventually landing at Moore Fitness to fill out an application. A man walks in and notices Isaiah sitting and filing out a form, and asks him why he's there. Isaiah doesn't want to talk to him, but the man turns out to be the president of the company, Joshua Moore. Isaiah throws away the application and is ready to storm off, but as he leaves, Joshua stops him and invites Isaiah to lunch. He gives him his business card and asks him three questions, telling him to call when he’s ready to answer them.
