Tray is living in a halfway house in Brooklyn and is trying to get his life back on track. He is working at a coffee shop, but is struggling to adjust to life outside of prison.

The episode starts with Tray trying to make breakfast with the limited resources he has in the halfway house. He decides to make a dish with some Bobo Beans, which he finds in the food cupboard.
