Vanessa Cruz is a young black woman, simply trying to survive in a world set up to conspire against her prosperity. Grinding Monday to Friday, and working Friday to Sunday left her no room to hope for an illustrious future.
As the eldest daughter of an immigrant household in the US, her family dynamics are carefully balanced on her shoulders. So when a message is sent by a nefarious man of means, addressed to her indifferent father, she answers.
