Angel Williams had a hard life growing up. With a junky for a mother who would sell you just for a quick fix and an absentee father life was unbearable. At a young age Angel learned to fend for herself to survive this cold cruel world. With her less than perfect childhood it's no surprise that her attempts at love failed; making her come to the realization men DON'T love, they only care about the pleasurable favors you could offer them. To endure heartbreak and the life that was forced upon her she created an alter ego...SYN. Syn unlike Angel was built to deal with any situation, the only thing that mattered to her was sex and money. Growing up in an abusive home, Parker James became void of all feelings, which caused him to live reckless and not care whether he lived or died.
