Nyla Bridges has dedicated her entire life to becoming the best FBI agent the agency has seen. Working twice as hard because she's a woman... a black woman... to show that she is just as capable, if not more, than her predominantly white, male colleagues. After three years in the field she finally lands her opportunity. All she has to do is go undercover and take down New York's biggest drug distributor, Elijah Davis. Sounds simple enough, but it's everything but. She finds her heart and her mind wanting two completely different things and everything is at stake.

It's the choices they made, which got them where they are; and it's the choices they make now that will set the path for tomorrow. This is the story of how the kid who believed he had a 'broken brain' became somebody great; and this is also the story about how the girl who had her heart broken by her childhood sweetheart, is the only person who has the power to put her back together. This is how Fame brought them back to each other, when they least expected it. **London based**
