- Maynard (Sharif Atkins), a successful attorney, is diagnosed with a life-threatening kidney disease. After unsuccessfully seeking a donor, he discovers his resentful brother, Jojo (Monti Sharp), is the right blood match. But to convince the estranged Jojo to forgo his boxing career and donate a kidney, the aloof and career driven Maynard needs to learn the importance of being close to people, as well as pay a huge emotional price tag to Jojo.—Montae Russell
- Twenty eight year old Maynard Lassiter will die from a rare kidney disease, unless he receives a kidney transplant. Upon learning that his older brother, Jojo, the family bad boy, is a matching blood type, Maynard asks him to donate a kidney. But Jojo, who has a lifelong resentment towards Maynard, scoffs at the idea. As a child, Jojo believed that Maynard, who was adopted at birth, took all of his parents' love and attention. Therefore, Jojo now views asking for a kidney as another example of Maynard taking something from him. Eventually, after mounting financial woes and being pressured by their mother, Jojo reluctantly agrees to the donation. However, he attaches a list of demands so that he doesn't feel like Maynard is getting something for nothing. Tragically, Jojo's demands grow more sinister. SOMETHING FOR NOTHING is about what happens when resentment goes unchecked, and is allowed to fester throughout the hearts and minds of even the most well-intentioned human beings, making them seekers of revenge.—Montae Russell
