At nineteen, Beyoncé Knowles thought she had her life planned out when she left Houston for school in New York with her best friend Kelly.
But life in the city isn't as simple as she imagined especially after falling for Lyndall Locke, the charming Harlem basketball star everyone seems to admire. What started as attention and affection slowly becomes something darker, leaving Beyoncé questioning the love she once believed in.
One night, a decision to step outside the life she's been trapped in leads her somewhere she never expected to be... and into the orbit of Jay aka Jigga.
Known in Brooklyn for his reputation in the streets, Jay lives a world Beyoncé was taught to avoid. But behind that reputation is a man who sees more than most and a connection neither of them planned.
In a city where survival often comes before love, two different worlds begin to collide.
Because sometimes the streets teach you everything...
And sometimes the softest lullabies come from the hardest lives.
