“Dilemmas” is a story about a man name Maurice. Maurice works for an organization and was sent on a mission to retrieve some stolen information. The information is in the hands of a rival organization’s ex-employee.

While building his character for this mission, he meets and marries Bevelyn, and they have children together. His children puts him in an awkward position. Although he knows his life is factious, he is a devoted father. His wife is nothing more than a money-hungry woman with the desire to meet any man she feel is worthy of her and take his money.

Maurice, on the other hand, thinks he is the only one keeping secrets with his multiple woman, but everyone in his life have a secret. Everyone is betraying everyone in order to either protect or retrieve the stolen information. Things get ugly and heated when one of his rival organization members dies. Secrets start to unravel, and NO one is who they say they are.
