SYNOPSIS:

Meet Barry DeHustla (Name legally Changed), birth name Barry Priest III, age 37.

Barry has just been released from doing 11 1/2 years in prison for drug trafficking, promotion of prostitution, and racketeering.

Barry's reputation was built on the art of seducing fragile women into the sex trade without physically hurting them, women actually sought him out to work for. Barry's mental game was so strong he kept a harem of women at his beck and call, provided for them, protected them, gave them an actual fair share of profit. Barry maintains that all of his ‘working relationships’ were by mutual consent, he never forced any women into this line of work, they were all willing participants and he had the foresight for them to sign agreements pertaining to this. Unfortunately for him, this didn't hold up later in court.

Barry was busted in a sting operation that targeted him as a sex trafficker as one of his 'girls' turned out to be a young runaway who lied about her age.

Barry, a former brilliant honor student was picked on and bullied most of his childhood. After a life-threatening fight with a bully he recovers wanting revenge. He obtains a gun but is ironically talked out of using it by a local pimp who exchanges colorful banter influencing him into changing his mind. Instead, he faces off with the bully challenging him mentally in a duel of wits, when the dumbfounded bully finally attacks he subdues him easily. This exchange empowers him and changes his life, unfortunately negatively; he eventually becomes a high school dropout to pursue pimp dreams with his new found confidence.

His parents were Barry the II & Gilda Priest. Barry died while he was in prison, Gilda disowns him, he has not seen her in years.

Influenced by his prison psychologist Donna Dire that he can do her job better than her, he turns the tides and seduces her in a session. Empowered, he gains his high school diploma and psychology degree from a local university while in prison. He is released after 11 years, one month for good behavior in a 15-20 year sentence.

Armed with a legit diploma; but a criminal background, Barry finds himself unaccredited and unable to be taken seriously as a psychiatrist.

Released to a halfway house, he seemingly resorts to his old ways by being caught with a minor teenager. Awaiting new sentencing fate draws him into an encounter with a suicidal socialite named Bailey Devaugh he talks off of a ledge. The saved socialite enamored with his skills lends her legal team to help keep him out of prison.

Armed with an ankle bracelet he arrives at his home and former criminal compound to find his sister Brandy has turned it into a unlicensed women's group home for addicts.

Surrounded by people of victimization that he used to prey on challenges his steel mantle of reserve. Brandy, distracted by a cheating husband forces Barry into the unforeseen waters of protecting these very house guests. Adding to his newfound woes is the desperate Bailey seeks additional assistance by checking herself into Brandy's group home. Along with constant oversight by his parole officer and the D.A., his actual community service is mentoring young juvenile boys who he must keep away from the house inhabitants. His unique mental skill set literally puts Barry as the sole patriarch keeping control over the complete dysfunctional group while keeping those that prey away. Often, this is more than he can chew for the price of freedom.

Between staying out of trouble his personal newfound reality is dealing with his own demons and PTSD from solidarity confinement and past lifestyle. A traditional 'Alpha Male', Barry finds his 'Toxic Masculinity' is currently vilified and conflicts with his troubled past. The constant temptation at his feet of the woman, drugs and alcohol plus the added pressure of being black and in a time warp, and being a role model for young men, women and his community, he must come to grips being accountable for his actions and be a positive rise above negativity.
