What happens

Trapped in the Closet is a musical soap opera series by American R&B singer, songwriter and producer R. Kelly, with 33 "chapters" released sporadically from 2005 to 2012. Written, produced, and directed by Kelly, the series, described as a "hip-hopera" (hip-hop opera), tells a story of a one-night stand which sets off a chain of events, gradually revealing a greater web of lies, affairs and deceit—a multitude of intertwined love triangles, extramarital affairs, and infidelities begin to unfold. The music follows a distinct E major pattern, and most chapters feature the same melodic theme. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
