Single mother Cairi has gone through more than what any 21 year old should have to endure. Struggling with raising her two daughters in the middle of San Bernardino, California, Cairi must make many difficult decisions to be able to provide her daughters the safe and happy life they deserve... all while constantly looking over her shoulder for her abusive, gang banger baby daddy who's known for popping up at the worst times. When Cairi gets word that he's been in the area she feels as if she will never be able to drag herself and her daughters out of the never ending cycle of fear and abuse that her ex has her trapped in. That is, until she meets Malakai Phoenix. But does Malakai have enough good in him to outweigh all the bad that comes along with his lifestyle choices?
