Akousa, the wild, and reckless one, who tends to live her life on the edge. She doesn't care whose toes she has to step on to get what she wants and where she wants to be. She wants what she wants. She gets herself into precarious situations and look to to hers to come to her rescue.
Esasa, Andressa, Donovan, and Nikolas, all have their lives pretty much together. They have professionall careers and are business owners. They are still trying to prove to themselves that they can make it in the businesses they have chosen for themselves. They've come from afar to make a life for themselves.
Akousa throws each one a curve without so much as a forethought as what she is doing. Little does she know that she is playing a dangerous game that she'd herself may not be able to bounce back from. To her amazement, the four friends have compassionate hearts and come to her aid, only to leave her by herself. For them, enough is enough.
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
