Twenty-six year old Ja'Marr Phillips, also known as Prodigy, was your typical street dude. Residing in the slums of Philadelphia, PA, the hood life was all Ja'Marr knew and he was fine with that. His life was as cliché as it could ever get. Family was nonexistent, he had one good friend, he sold drugs, he had enemies, and he had a girlfriend who he didn't quite like as much as he should. He was disrespectful, nasty, selfish, and a certified cheater with no heart or soul in this body. Love was never meant for him and neither was settling down which explained the constant cheating he partook in. Though his infidelity wasn't much of a surprise to anyone, the sudden turn of events that occurred when he met her sure was. Twenty-three year old, Jersey Martin, was average. That's it and that's all. There wasn't anything over the top, unique, or extravagant about her. She was a simple young adult who made her money and kept to herself. The only abnormal quantity about her was her sex appeal. Jersey was the type of chick who enjoyed sex, the sexual desire she craved was unlike no other. She would give it to just about anyone. Male. Female. Anyone in between. If she was attracted to them then she was going to bang. Though some may consider her actions disgusting and even say she has a sex addiction, Jersey still didn't care. She wasn't into relationships or long-term sneaky links or committing to anyone at that matter. Yet, she found herself going against her own beliefs after meeting him. This is THE OTHER HER.
