Best friends Nino and Von find themselves behind bars, but while Von has nowhere else to go, Nino longs to return to his wife, Ke'Nevia. When Nino hatches a plan to escape, Von agrees to go with him under one condition-he stays with Nino afterward. Reluctantly, Nino agrees, first warning Ke'Nevia of their arrival. Once free, the two seek refuge at Nino's home, and Ke'Nevia, with little hesitation, allows Von to stay. However, tensions rise when Nino grows jealous of the bond forming between Von and Ke'Nevia. Struggling to express his emotions, he spirals back into drug use-something he has fought in the past. To stay connected, Ke'Nevia follows his lead, plunging them both into a dangerous cycle. Von, refusing to watch them destroy themselves, confronts Nino, leading to a brutal fight that strains their relationship. In the aftermath, Von confesses to Ke'Nevia that he harbors feelings for both of them and believes Nino does too but is too afraid to admit it. Ke'Nevia encourages Von to wait for Nino to speak his truth and urges Nino to make amends. But when Ke'Nevia suffers a withdrawal-induced episode, their pasts come crashing back. Told through alternating perspectives, their histories unravel-Nino's childhood marked by an abusive, drug-dealing father and the foster system that tore his family apart, and Ke'Nevia's tragic escape from a violent home where even her mother turned against her. As their trauma collides with their present, the trio must decide: will they drown in their past, or will they fight to build something new together?

In a perfect world You're understanding, I'm not a perfect girl... I would drop my fears at the door I would only bring myself and nothing more And you let me be, a woman And you let me be, a flawed woman You would yearn to hear all about my past What I've done, what I've did And why, below my sick thoughts That if I needed to, I could cry And you would catch my tears You don't wanna be nobody else's pain You don't wanna be nobody else's place to hide from themselves SHAME And I'm the one to blame You see right through me You see through the smile You see straight through me You push past the lies ***A Toxic Romance***
