- Lolly lives with his mother in St. Nicholas Housing Projects in Harlem, NYC. His best friend Vega lives in an apartment nearby and is someone Lolly can always count on especially in supporting Lolly after the sudden and tragic death of his older brother, Jermaine. Lolly's parents are divorced and his father has not been around much. Knowing that he has been struggling with his grief, Lolly's mother's girlfriend Yvonne gifts him two big garbage bags full of Legos for Christmas.
- FALLING ACTION
- Lolly attends an after school program. There, he talks with the director, Mr. Ali, who is a social worker that helps Lolly process his grief. Mr. Ali allows Lolly to build his Lego creations in an empty storage room and Lolly looks forward to escaping there to his make believe world Harmoee. One day Mr. Ali allows Rose, who struggles socially due to her autism, come to the storage room and build alongside Lolly using his Legos. At first, Lolly resents her invading his sanctuary and challenges her to a tower building contest, which ends in a tie.
- RESOLUTION
- Lolly and Rose communicate through their love of architecture. Rose is grieving the loss of her mother to suicide. Unfortunately, the storage room is going to be repurposed. Before they dismantle their worlds, they have a display for the community. Lolly makes it onto the news! He sees that he might have a future as an artist. One evening, Lolly and Vega get jumped by gang members who have been harassing them. Lolly‘s phone and Vega's jacket are stolen and both boys are badly beaten up.
- L'attaque laisse les deux garçons en colère et blessés, mais Lolly a ses Legos et ses rêves de devenir un artiste vers qui s'échapper. Vega est désillusionné et tellement en colère qu'il commence à penser à rejoindre un gang et à se venger. Il se procure même une arme à feu. Lolly est capable de dissuader Vega de se venger et les deux garçons jettent l'arme dans la rivière. Ils ne veulent pas emprunter le même chemin tragique que le frère de Lolly, Jermaine.

- L'histoire se termine avec Lolly se rendre compte que même si il manquera toujours son frère, il peut trouver des moyens positifs de canaliser son chagrin et peut garder la mémoire de Jermaine vivant en lui parlant et demander de l' aide quand il en a besoin des influences positives autour de lui. Lolly dit que les personnes avec qui vous êtes amis peuvent soit vous élever plus haut, soit vous faire descendre. Il se rend compte que vos choix sont ce qui fait de vous qui vous êtes.
