War for Freeland
"Ever hear of the rope a dope? You're the dope."

- Khalil Payne

Search for Peace
"I know what's it's like to be one person on the inside and have to pretend to be someone else on the outside. To lead a double life. Struggle with identity. Khalil's struggle is different, but that's what he's dealing with."

- Donald on Khalil's search for peace
