Angel DeAngelo was raised in the streets by neighbors rather than his own parents. With a father in jail and a mother who prostitutes, he brings the money to the table in the only way that he know hows: slanging.

While Angel wants more than anything to explore what could be between the two of them. As a battle of wills begins, danger from another component stirs up trouble forcing the two to work together to confront it, or be killed.
