Devin, a seventeen year old delinquent, never had the easy life most people take for granted.  He didn’t have parents who cared enough to ask where he was when he stumbled back home at three in the morning.  He didn’t have a solid, stable household to return to with his younger brother, Gabe.  He had no real friends or relatives to turn to when he was in trouble.  This led to him getting into trouble and participating in crimes that consumed his entire life

Devin had to grow up pretty fast, hitting bump after bump in the road.  But, when a nerdy girl sees past his cold exterior, will her kindness be enough to help him, or will his bad past hold strong and ruin his chances?

"Teenage love lasts about as long as the flavor in fruit stripe gum." These were the words Trechial lived by. For Trechial, liking, dating, and loving, her best friend was never in her deck of UNO cards. Fighting with him seemed to be the more plausible way they did things. But as they reached the inevitable teenage years, Devin Liao quickly became Trechial's favorite hook to a 90s R&B song. Afraid to cross the friendship line but unable to contain her curiosity, Trechial begins to straddle the line, hoping not to be consumed by Devin's charm and protective spirit. As for Devin Liao, his promise started as an obligation to the man he held high respect for. Yet, as the years went on and childish feelings morphed into a terminal infatuation for Trechial, he realized it was a promise he wanted to keep. Trechial Winters, the dark-skinned beauty from around the way, was food to his Asian Soul, though she only saw him as a friend. But when new love interests creep into their lives, Devin and Trechial drift apart--until Devin takes notice of Trechial's stepfather, Charlie, roaming eyes and controlling behavior towards her, forcing Devin to put an 'S' on his chest and becomes Trechial's Superman. Will Devin and Trechial's long-standing bond withstand racism, death, exes, and a vindictive stepdad bent on destroying their relationship? Or will Devin and Trechial take on every obstacle, fighting their way, and finally give into the affections of their hearts?

Kayla's life seems perfect on the outside-she's a 23-year-old college student with big dreams, a tight circle of friends, and two protective older brothers. She's always been independent, handling her own business and staying focused on her goals. But when she meets Devin, a smooth-talking guy who seems to have it all together, everything starts to change. At first, Devin is everything Kayla could want-charming, attentive, and always making her feel special. But as their relationship deepens, his true colors begin to show. Devin's charm turns to control, and his love turns into something darker. Trapped in an abusive relationship that no one knows about, Kayla finds herself isolated, scared, and unsure of how to escape. With her best friend Lena starting to notice the changes in her, and her brothers Isaiah and Jordan growing suspicious, Kayla struggles to keep her secret while searching for a way out. But leaving Devin isn't as simple as it seems. The deeper she falls into his manipulation, the harder it becomes to break free. In this short, gripping urban drama, Kayla's strength is tested as she fights to reclaim her life and rediscover her voice. Set against the backdrop of city life, "Behind Closed Doors" is a powerful story about love, control, and survival, written in raw, unfiltered Ebonics that captures the realities of living in the streets. Will Kayla find the courage to escape, or will Devin's hold on her drag her down for good?
