"What about in public? We can't be like this in public." "I don't give a fuck, what we do, what we got goin' on ain't nobody business." Two couples, four best friends, end up becoming one. The love, the hate, the good and the bad, they go through it all together but will it last?

"One finds limits by pushing them." Onika Maraj is a valorous and soft-hearted mother with a great head on her shoulder. So many odds has been stacked against her but Onika always manages to wing herself through any storm no matter how big or strong. She works very hard, goes to school, and go far beyond the stars to make her kids happy. The young woman was sought to be buried in dirt but God had better plans. Therefore, her humbleness and positivity flow with ease. The only business that'll ever be concerning is her family. Sad to say, beauty comes with a price. Attention. Good or bad. Boys (even girls) came at Onika left and right. It was easy for her to turn up her nose at the young thugs in her crazy neighborhood because they were just that. Boys not men. However, her heart quickly moves when she runs across the finest and relentless dealer straight outta Queens. Beyoncé "QB" Knowles. What started off as a innocent fling turns into something much deeper. Love. Strong, ghetto love that involuntarily throws her into a world of trouble.

Dejah just moved to the hood where she is met with someone unexpected... known as Z. She becomes involved against her will in Z's gang related lifestyle and finds herself falling for her. Will there be bumps in the road as their relationship develops or will they live in peace that they both have been longing for ?
