Raquel Richardson is not your average hood chick. Yes, she rocks the new trends, keeps herself up, and is wanted by all men, while being envied by all women. However, Raquel's dream is to someday leave the hood and become a lawyer. She's on the right track when she falls head over heels in love with stick-up kid Tyreeq Henderson who wants the finer things in life and will do anything to accomplish it. Will their love endure the dramas of the Brickstone Heights neighborhood and the scary infatuation of the hood's biggest and most menacing kingpin who wants Raquel for himself whether she wants him back or not?
