In the heart of the projects, five cousins-Leesa, Leslie, Jenn, Bianca, and Chasity-grew up as sisters in their grandmother's big house, a sanctuary in a neighborhood ruled by drugs, violence, and desperation. Each of their parents fell victim to the streets in one way or another-whether through addiction, incarceration, death, or abandonment-leaving their grandmother to raise them. She became their protector and the glue that held the family together.

When their grandmother passes away, the cousins discover she left behind a massive debt to a ruthless drug kingpin, Carlos "Los" Morales, who gives them three months to pay or lose the only home they've ever known. Desperate to save their family legacy, the cousins are drawn into a dangerous hustle to pay off the debt.

As they navigate the chaotic world of crime, romance, betrayal, and survival, old family secrets come to light, threatening to tear them apart. With rival gangs, personal conflicts, and their own pasts haunting them, the cousins must learn to trust one another or risk losing everything-not just the house, but the unbreakable bond they share.

This is a story of survival, ambition, and sisterhood, where love and loyalty are tested at every turn, and the fight for freedom comes with a cost.All Rights Reserved
