Sweetie was seventeen when survival stopped being optional. Pushed into South Central's underbelly with nothing but grit and silence, she learns the rules fast: don't panic, don't fold, and never stay down. Money moves quicker than trust, and respect only comes when blood's already on the floor. Namir "Lil Brim" Ward runs his side of the city with discipline and distance - legacy on his back, enemies at his door. He never wanted her around. She was never supposed to last. But in a world where power is tested daily and loyalty costs everything, their paths keep crossing - not through romance, but through consequence. Pure is a gritty LA story about the game, the streets, and two people shaped by them - where survival is earned, silence is strength, and staying solid is the only currency that matters.
