Ryo harris was an anomaly. One person without a define word. His life was chaotic and indescribable. Every turn he took, he found his self falling deeper and deeper into the abyss. Orchestrating his mind as a whole, leaving him fighting to reach the surface of the beginning. Sex was a start to resurfacing. A lot of it was the key to stay afloat. His professor, taunting and signaling him out in a room filled to the brim with students was the demise. Leaving him gasping for air - sinking, with nothing to fall back on but the teaching's of the person who caused his very end. With nothing left to catch him, he had nothing to lose. In just two words, a footing came to view. Catching him before he fell endlessly. "Teach me." And he was, both taught and caught that is. The very start to what would be the live-hood of ryo's life. He wasn't sinking. He wasn't gasping for air. He wasn't at the surface anymore. He was perched on land. Naked. Tied up. Gagged, and free. Finally out the abyss and into the hands of a whole new world.

Trey been grindin' since he was a kid. At 23, he tryna leave that street life alone, workin' at a car shop and keepin' his circle small. He don't trust easy, don't talk much, and damn sure don't got time for drama. Zay, 21, is the type to say whatever on his mind. He loud, got a bad attitude, and stay outside-hustlin', fightin', and talkin' shit. He known in the neighborhood for runnin' his mouth and gettin' into trouble.

Based in 2020, outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia Capri Laurent, a 19 year old community college student pursuing a degree with no real end goal in mind. Living at home with his parents, sister and baby bo, his life isn't as easy as it appears to be. Having his son at the ripe age of 17, Capri has to make ends meet for his kid, especially when the mother wasn't exactly in the picture. As if his life wasn't hard enough, after his son is diagnosed with autism Capri isn't sure how their lives will look for them. Playing the cards he was dealt, he grows, like a rose through concrete- with help of course. Harlem Santino, a 20 year old with dreams higher than he can reach. Harlem had always been amazing in sports, you name it- football, soccer, baseball, but basketball owned his heart. It was his passion, what kept the light shining bright in his big brown eyes. With a once in a lifetime opportunity with a full basketball scholarship to GSU Harlem would have been stupid to turn it down. However life had a twisted and fucked up way of making good people hurt. When his mother and only living family member is diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer Harlem is forced to touch bases with old connects and pick up a not so safe side hustle. All while balancing his sport management degree and his grilling basketball requirements. Seemingly both alone in their own ways, who knew that an old hardly in use skating rink, a few joints, and good old r&b story telling would bring two drowning souls together and make life seem all the more bearable.
