Having grown up in the system her whole life, Raven had no choice but to raise herself and hustle to survive. When she ends up saving sweet-tempered good girl Zari Oakley from an abusive relationship, the two quickly bond and become the best of friends, despite their uniquely different childhoods. For the first time, Raven has someone she loves and trusts like a sister, and she's thrilled when Zari invites her to her family's home for a summer vacation. Having heard some stories of Zari's dysfunctional family dynamic, Raven is unsure of what to expect upon meeting Zari's parents for the first time.

The last thing Raven wants to do is betray Zari and destroy their friendship.
