"I can live, I can love, I can be better with you, For Real."
Monae is a young, vibrant woman with a difficult past, trying to carve out a life for herself amidst the neon lights and the pulsating beat of the local strip club. After enduring a tumultuous teenagehood marked by loss, neglect, and betrayal, she found solace in dance, becoming the club's most sought-after performer. Her older brother, once her protector, has become Houston's biggest drug lord, abandoning her when she needed him most. Monae's resilience keeps her going, though the pain of abandonment and the stigma of her job linger.
RJ, a trusted enforcer for Monae's brother, is sent on an assignment by his boss-Monae's estranged sibling. The job is simple: keep an eye on her, make sure she stays out of trouble, and report back. But as RJ spends more time around Monae, he finds himself drawn to her, captivated not just by her beauty but by the strength and vulnerability she hides behind her sparkling eyes and seductive moves.
The two come from completely different worlds, and their lives couldn't be more complicated. RJ, hardened by his loyalty to Monae's brother, has never allowed himself to feel much for anyone other than his family. Monae, on the other hand, has built a wall around her heart, weary of the promises of love she's never seen fulfilled. But as they navigate the dangerous world of drugs, betrayal, and violence that surrounds them, an undeniable chemistry sparks between them.
