11 parts Ongoing MatureSeventeen-year-old Imani Reneé Jackson is the definition of resilience.
A star student, scholar athlete, and future Neuroscientist, she carries herself with confidence. But beneath the surface, she's drowning.
Between the weight of her past, her mother's abuse, and her fractured relationship with faith, Imani has perfected the art of pretending. She's spent years building walls. Hiding the bruises, the pain, and the parts of herself she's too afraid to face. Survival is all she's ever known.
Then there's Zaire Carter Williams. A childhood friend turned something more. With his quiet understanding and protective nature, he sees through her mask in a way that terrifies her. Zaire has his own battles to fight, but when he realizes Imani is hurting, walking away isn't an option. Loving and patient, he refuses to look away, even when she pushes him away. He wants to protect her, but she isn't sure she can let him. Because letting him in means facing the truth she's been running from.
As temptations rise and secrets unravel, Imani is forced to confront the demons she's spent years avoiding. The pressure of senior year builds, and the lines between friendship, love, and salvation begin to blur. Now, she has a choice: keep running or finally let someone catch her.
Will she let herself be loved, healed, and guided back to God, or will the pain of her past keep her from the future she deserves?
