Sheed

Sheed was born into a family of four children in The South, Baton Rouge, in LA, where he essentially grew up. He currently is in his thirties, living with his girlfriend as well as childhood friend Jazz and her son, Kyngston. He has no job but is an aspiring musician, trying to find other various ways of making a living, whilst financially depending on Jazz. Sheed is also known to have an ex wife, and three children with her.

In the beginning of the story, Jazz and Sheed have just had a fight about their current financial situation. Sheed wants to be able to provide for the family, and feels bad about living off of his girlfriend. Fortunately, a music challenge opens up from a major record label that offers a record deal to an artist who can make a good song from scratch during a select time duration. They are also required to document his lifestyle and the entire process of him creating the song. He starts up his camera and begins recording his entire creation process.

Just when he completes an early draft of the song, his friend, Sonic, offers him a job doing runs with his cousin, Hungryman, as he knows Sheed needs to make some quick money. Sheed takes up the job, but encounters a murder unfolding on his first run with Hungryman. Hungryman approaches Sheed the next day with his friend Richie standing outside, offering an ultimatum to continue making runs for him or be killed.

During one of their runs, he discovers his girlfriend, Jazz, is a drug dealer and is expecting a pickup from Hungryman. Thinking Hungryman is going to kill her, Sheed shoots Hungryman impulsively as he approaches Jazz.

With the both in shock, Jazz and Sheed dispose of the body. The death puts weight on Jazz and Sheed's relationship as the two of them realized that they lied to each other on their whereabouts. Because of this, they decide to go on a break. One of Hungryman's closest friends. Richie, who was also the aforementioned bystander, places suspicion on Sheed and confronts him the day after his disappearance.

Sheed pretends to be clueless, stating him and Jazz were home right after they did their respective jobs. However, just as Richie is about to leave, the body is discovered and it makes its way to the local news. Richie sees Kyngston outside the house and kidnaps him for ransom. Sheed finds out when Jazz notices her son is missing, and while looking for him, finds a sticky note left behind by the kidnapper.

Both Sheed and Jazz have to pay a good amount of money in order to save her son. Jazz borrows money from who she gets her drug stash from, another friend named Sam who one of the managers at the plant she works on. When they come with the money, Richie is about to kill Kyngston but is overcome with a strange illness. He falls to the ground, giving them an opening to escape.

Because of this experience, Jazz and Sheed eventually mend their relationship and decide to begin anew. Their family is finally all together again.

However, a mysterious plague sweeps over the community and her son starts exhibiting symptoms as well. When trying to get him to a hospital, the paramedics notify them that their calls are getting backed up due to the amount of people getting infected but they successfully have him admitted right on time. Alongside this, Sam now wants his money back, plus a favor. The favor in question requires him and Jazz to pick up drugs from Sam's supplier. Because they did not have enough money to cover the cost of the drugs, they attempt to jack the supplier and Jazz gets caught in the crossfire as they attempt to run.

After calling the hospital and not getting an answer, Sheed leaves a voice memo in Jazz's coworkers group in hope someone can help. Laney immediately responds, but Sheed doesn’t know it’s Laney since Jazz had deleted her number. Instead, he sees an unknown number offering to nurse her back to health in the house.

While Jazz heals, Sheed tries to finish everything by delivering the goods to Sam. Sam, though angry at the both of them for what they did, brings up a theory about how the quarantine is only present to lock people in and make them vulnerable. Because of this, MoleQlr, the plan, is killing off people in the company who might know too much. This gives Sheed an incentive to ready himself for a fight. Sam tells Sheed that he suspects that it's one of their close co-workers killing people in the company off. Sheed comes to the conclusion that it might be Laney, as he knew they were both fighting with each other in the past. He then realizes that he left Jazz alone with Laney.

He rushes back to the house where Jazz is, ready with a weapon to protect her.
