Mario Alvarez comes from the hood. Hes a latino boy who grew up with a typical hispanic family: macho, hard working dad, sweet, but overbearing mother, and 3 siblings. He grew up in the heart of gangland and fell into the game at a young age. Now he cant stop cause its all hes ever known. Blu Tucker lived differently. She comes from your average lower-middle class family. Divorced parents, two older brothers and a close bond with her grandprents was all she needed to grow into a smart young women. This girl had never done a bad thing in her life (her momma made sure of that). We've all heard that famous saying "opposites attract". Will these two prove it to be true?

It was the summer of '93, and the weather was almost hotter than the location. But then again, what could be hotter than hell? The Ninth! Some would assume that the steam which rose from the broken sidewalks in front of the brick apartment building justified the neighbor hood's nickname, the Ninth Circle of Hell. The heat wave however, had nothing to do with why people associated Messalina projects with Dante's Inferno. No, that honor went to the infestation of dealers, crack heads, boosters, and hoes. Dope boys handled their business like it was legal, and everyone learned to look the other way. If they didn't learn, then they never got the chance to look again. Life in the ninth operated by the code of the wild, predators ate and prey got eaten. The drug dealers sat on the top of chain. Boosters, strippers and hoes fell somewhere in the middle, while the crack heads and the civilians clung to the last wrung. Everyone knew their assigned roles and no one ever deviated from the script. Cleopatra James, an unremarkable thirteen year old girl, understood better than anyone, her dictated place in the procession. But that didn't mean she accepted the role she'd been given to play.
