South Jamaica, Queens.
A neighborhood divided between silence, survival, and the steady hum of danger.
Unique Mathis runs the Southside Collective with a calm iron fist - no mess, no noise, no witnesses. His name alone keeps the streets steady, but enemies are circling, and loyalty is starting to crack.
Reign Matthews lives a completely different life - art, books, soft mornings, and community work. She's quiet, grounded, and determined to stay away from the block politics tearing her city apart.
One chance encounter pulls their worlds together.
As old beefs rise, T.I.O. pushes for territory, and a dirty cop stirs chaos, Reign becomes the one person who disrupts Unique's control - and the one thing he never expected to protect.
Their connection is dangerous.
Their timing is terrible.
And in a city where every corner has eyes, nothing stays quiet for long.
Love, power, loyalty, and the cost of choosing between the life you lead and the one you want - welcome to the beginning.
