He promised her a life of luxury and ease, but the cost was more than Chai could bargain for. She becomes a slave to the man she once knew and her opulent living quickly turns into a life of hell.

Being a former convict is a harsh start to his new beginning and his inner circle doesn't make it any better. Having to choose between his family, friends and future leads him down a dark, uncertain path. These two worlds collide in a brutal fight to freedom where life doesn't play fair. The battle tests their limits to the very end and creates a whirlwind of chaos. Will they make it out alive or will it just be another day in Chicago?

"All my feeling and emotions are bottled up"

"And it doesn't matter how much time passed or how much time will pass-it's him. It always has been him and it always will be him...I just don't know how to tell him," When it's more than a like, and they're more than a friend. When they know you better than you know yourself and just the thought of them is all you need to put a smile on your face-telling your best friend you're in love with them should be simple. Right?
