Lakeisha Moss hasn't been the same person since almost losing her life, the loss of her first child, and leaving Angel behind in an attempt to live a "normal" life. She's quickly losing her trust in those around her, while being resigned to university life, listening to her grandparents' advice, and finding that there's something underhand not being mentioned. An introduction to a family friend who knows more about her situation than he should, leads to her entanglement in a web of deceptions and lies surrounding a cartel with a hit out on some of the people around. Finding her life in danger all over again, Lakeisha isn't certain that her situation is any better than it was before. When tensions rise and family secrets began to unveil themselves, Lakeisha finds herself heading down a path of murder, lies, and destruction. Angel's hunt for relatives of the man he killed, has led him into a new level, which includes involvement with an undercover F.B.I agent who needs his help with a cartel that has entered his territory causing ruckus, chaos and a long string of murders-along with a full blown out war between the cartel and the cops. Overwhelmed with a decision to make in regards to joining the cartel's side or helping the F.B.I take his city back, Angel and his team ultimately must ride hard for each other or be each other demise in a street war that has quickly spilled over into the city.

Compton changed everything. In Riverdale, I used to be able to walk outside at night without having to worry about anything happening to me. I could walk outside in broad daylight and wouldn't have to worry about drive-by's. I used to be able to come home and be able to rely on a homemade meal made by mother-and my father sitting on the couch with her. But now, everything's changed. My dad dipped out on me and my mom, my mom and I are struggling to make ends meet, and I'm in these streets. Never would I imagined that myself, Egypt, would be out on the streets selling drugs to support myself. But if it helps me support me and my mother, I'm willing to do whatever it takes. Now I have responsibilities that I would've never expected, and people depend on me more than ever before. © all rights reserved // livythecreator

At the age of sixteen Lakeisha Moss was abandoned by her mother and left to fend for herself on the streets. Within days she's taken in by Ambrianna. During her stay with Ambrianna, Lakeisha is taught the difference between real women and fake women, the difference between a ho and a house wife. She's taught more than anything to ride-or-die. 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. A notoriously feared street thug with respect from almost everyone around the hood. With money, power, and hos, he's got almost everything figured out. He's just missing one thing: a down chick. When the two encounter paths, sparks fly and everything is thrown out of proportion, as Lakeisha defies everything and anything involving, Angel. 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.
