Welcome to The New Classic, where the past and the present merge, to form a new future. 

Once that no one can see coming...

Join Angelo, Vanessa and the rest of the gang three and a half long years after that fateful night. 

Lo kept count. V didn't. 

The events which followed that evening had repercussions still felt to this day. Cosa Nostra was forever changed by the new kid on the block. 

She plays by her own rules, a game that no one else knows is in session. And she's good at it. 

But she forgot a lesson she was taught a long time ago:

Have reverence for your opponent, for there was a reason they were sitting opposite you. 

Vanessa and all she had learned over the years are put to the test as she's forced to emerge from obscurity. And as she goes up against her opponents, her strength is put to the ultimate test. Will she prevail? How does the Vanessa of today navigate the hurtful past that made her who she was. Will she ever face it?

Angelo's journey has taken him in a different direction. The answers he searched for weren't to be found with the love of his life, instead, hiding just under the surface, ready to rear their head. Not many believe him to be capable of change... Can he prove them wrong? What lessons did he learn from his time alone? And will it be enough to prove himself worthy of redemption?

Read on to find out what time has had in store for your favourite lovers... Will their paths cross again? What has changed? What hasn't? Can either of them truly move on if they don't face each other again?

Join the cast of "AT WHAT COST?" on this wild ride! There's love, lust, hurt and jealousy. And that's just the beginning of this story. Follow along as we revisit your faves and meet new ones, with stories unto themselves.
