When Fayja is shot it leaves everyone speechless and brings secrets face to face with one another. Hearts are racing and bloody moves have to be made. Who do you go after when you don’t know the face behind the shooter? Or do you simply go after any and everyone who you feel has something to do with it? In Pharaoh’s case, the latter of the two is always the way to go, as long as you move smart about it. Pharaoh is either going to get some answers or everyone in the streets is going to have to feel his wrath. Making the city bleed is something he hasn’t had to do in a while as the boss of the streets, but now he feels as if his hand has been forced and he won’t sleep until he has the shooter’s head on a silver platter. When a ghost from the past pops up with a vendetta and dirty secrets are revealed, things are only bound to be turned upside down and a helping hand will be needed more than ever. But who can you turn to for help when you don’t know who to trust? The only thing Fayja’s son wants to be able to do is welcome her home. With his own problems brewing, he finds himself tripping off the one person he knows he’s forbidden to be with. Traumatized by the effects of living a life in the streets, everyone has no choice but to choose their destiny and the route they truly want to take. The only thing is, will they be on a road trip to love or destruction? Love may not be meant for a thug, but is it meant for a Boss?

The one thing that drives us the most can be the one thing that destroys us. Yet, we can't live without it. It's our heart that always seems to get in the way of things. But, when we're carrying the heart of someone else... our love knows no boundaries. As a single mother, Fayja has always put herself last but when Pharaoh comes in the picture, his desire is to put her first. When she falls for him, she knows that he's bound to give her a taste of a lifestyle she's never experienced, however, the fact that he's also a boss in the streets sends her headfirst into many situations that she hadn't prepared for. When love is in the picture, it's hard to let go and Fayja learns this firsthand when she falls in love with a certified street king.

When Fayja got shot, she thought life was over for her, but she quickly learned that her problems were only truly beginning. Even though her problems were only beginning her love life was too. Pharaoh proved to be everything she wanted plus more. She never would have expected him to end up hurting her... until he did. Learning the truth about her son working for her lover was a hard pill to swallow. Now the only thing left to do is watch the aftermath of love making an ugly but beautiful turn. Pharaoh finds himself faced with the decision of choosing love or money. Usually that wouldn’t be a big deal to him, but when it comes to the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with, things are a lot more complicated. Pharaoh has never been the one to feel like anyone owes him anything, but things are different with Fayja. He can’t help but to feel like she owes him a fair shot at her love. Walking away isn’t an option and he’ll stop at nothing to get just one more chance with her. Love may not have been meant for a thug or boss, but it was definitely meant for a certified street king. While the only thing Fayja and Pharaoh may be focused on is their love, Klue is focused on more serious things. Money has been the motive for him, and everyone knows money is the root of all evil. Klue finds himself at the center of something that is way bigger than he anticipated. The options he is given are slim to none, and he’s either going to have to kill or possibly be killed. The decisions he makes in the end could be the difference between life or death for him and those closest to him, and death never likes to be cheated.

The prettiest faces tell the saddest stories. When Malia’s mother unexpectedly dies, she’s left to feel like she has nothing or no one. As the outcast of the family, she quickly finds herself homeless with nowhere to go. In her world, fairytales don’t exist, and she knows that there will be no Prince Charming coming to save her, or at least that’s what she believes. The definition of a savage is something wild, untamed, and not under human control. When it comes to Markell, that couldn’t be any truer. His whole life it’s been one thing after another, until he eventually turned into the savage that he is. When unfortunate circumstances bring him face to face with Malia, he’s plagued with curiosity. He knows she’s not only a pretty face, but she’s not so open to letting him into her world. Can Markell pull Malia out of her sorrow? Can Malia open herself up to him and show him where it hurts? Or will the tables turn, leaving him to need her more than she ever needed him?
