**Synopsis: "Ambitions in the Shadows"** In the heart of New York City, Malachai and Samara navigate the gritty streets, entwining love and ambition in a dangerous dance. This modernized take on Macbeth explores their ascent through the worlds of crime, politics and influence. Against a backdrop of urban intrigue, the couple faces enemies, forges alliances, and confronts choices with echoes of Shakespearean tragedy. Belly of Malachai is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the high-stakes gamble for power, where the shadows hold secrets, and the pursuit of ambition mirrors the timeless themes of Macbeth in a contemporary landscape.

If one day is all we had, will you make it worth my while? City girl-Bradley Hughes battles with her emotions as she entangles herself in an unpredictable life with the well respected- New Orleans native, Rashad Farewood. The right man will evoke the wild side out of you, no matter how much you've tamed it. Bradley is set to learn that the hard way.

Compton changed everything. In Riverdale, I used to be able to walk outside at night without having to worry about anything happening to me. I could walk outside in broad daylight and wouldn't have to worry about drive-by's. I used to be able to come home and be able to rely on a homemade meal made by mother-and my father sitting on the couch with her. But now, everything's changed. My dad dipped out on me and my mom, my mom and I are struggling to make ends meet, and I'm in these streets. Never would I imagined that myself, Egypt, would be out on the streets selling drugs to support myself. But if it helps me support me and my mother, I'm willing to do whatever it takes. Now I have responsibilities that I would've never expected, and people depend on me more than ever before. © all rights reserved // livythecreator

Fifteen years have passed and a whole new generation of the Sinclair's, Smith's and Jones's are in full affect and ready to take on the world and all that comes with it. In this big world that many people call home, one may struggle with trying to find their purpose or who they truly are and with this being a very trying time in most of their young lives each of them are about to experience something about themselves that they didn't even know existed. Doing the best that could as parents, they all laid out the blueprint on how to survive this world to create the perfect path for each of their kids to follow so they wouldn't make the same mistakes they did growing up. But as one may know, as a young-adult life just seems a lot harder and the pressure of wanting to just stay young or to grow up is always a constant battle to deal with. So the question now is will each of these young individuals make it to the destination each of their parents have set for them to follow to help guide them in the right direction? Or will they let the world's distractions & temptations lead them astray?
