Hakeem was an all-American ball player who had offers for a full ride to just about every Division 1 School across the country. Then suddenly everything in his life changes when his parents are tragically killed in a fatal car accident, leaving him to care for himself and his twelve-year-old sister, Kaliyah. Seven years later, Hakeem is a senior at Essex County College, Kaliyah is about to graduate from high school and Hakeem is supporting them by working for Simuel, a local drug dealer. Tasia has been in love with Hakeem since freshman year when he came strolling in her Literature class, taking the seat that she had already claimed. Although she could see ther feelings were mutual, through the years they never seemed to be able to find their way to each other. Now months away from graduation, Tasia has an encounter that causes Hakeem to place Tasia under his protection. With graduation approaching, Tasia’s dreams of moving to New York to become a fashion designer are more important than ever. But Tasia knows that Hakeem will never leave the streets alone, especially now that he has agreed to take over for Simuel. With a choice between being whether to follow her dreams or be the sheltered girlfriend of a thug weighing heavily on her mind, she has a tough choice to make. And her decision could lead to her losing the love of her life.

Hakeem just received the shock of his life and Janelle is at the center of it all. Just when he and Tasia are getting things back on track, Janelle is back in his life and she brought a problem with her by the name of Detective Mason Howard. Business is going well for Tasia but her personal life is about to take another hit, will she be able to handle the fall out and will she have it in her to stick around. Josh Bradford has let his nephew Jace put him in a bad position, which could potentially affect this family and career. He needs to take action quick and stop Detective Mason Howard before he finds out all of his secrets. Hakeem and Tasia have been faced with yet another dilemma that challenges their dedication to one another. Will they be able to stick it out and find the happy ending that they deserve?

With the cops at their door Hakeem is now forced to invest time trying to figure out who is trying to set him up, when he really should be focusing on getting his club up and running. Taisa’s business has taken off, yet she is quickly starting to realize that Sky might want a little more than just a corner office. Sky is on a mission that has nothing to do with styling celebrities. Jace can’t seem to let go, which is causing problems for Tasia while Hakeem’s past seems to be resurfacing in a way that will change both their lives forever.
