Ziare Emmelle. Street nigga turned club promotor. Sincere Kazzi. King Pin turned strip club owner. When these two worlds collide, it's a story of betrayal, unexpected love and violence.

Everybody expected Jalen Carter to crash out after prison. Instead, he came home trying to be a father. Trying to stay free. Trying to move differently. Trying not to lose himself again. But Amir Johnson makes that shit difficult. His best friend has been attached to his side since they were kids, still loud, still reckless, still the only person who can get under Jalen's skin without trying. And the closer they get, the harder it becomes to ignore the tension building between them. Now with his baby mama wanting their family back, old street problems resurfacing, and feelings neither of them knows how to handle... everything they built together could either save them- or destroy them..

In a world where no women exist, science and fate has allowed men to have children and keep the human race from extinction. Men who do not have the ability to bear children become Handlers and those who do, Consorts. It seems, however, that not all Consorts look forward to a life of popping out kids and being housewives and eighteen year old Justin Campbell will rather die than be a fucking housewife!
