"You either leave now... or the cops will make you."

One argument - and just like that, 18-year-old Imani is out. Her father's words hit harder than the cold Detroit air as she's forced to pack a suitcase and leave the only home she's ever known. No plan. No place to go. Just pain, pride, and the silence of a family that gave up on her.

She bounces from couch to couch, house to house - sleeping in spare rooms, depending on people she barely knows. But survival comes with strings. And one wrong decision leads her into a world she never saw coming.

A world where her body becomes a transaction. Where safety is a lie. Where escape feels impossible.

Based on true events, Thick Skin, Broken Soul is a raw, emotional Urban Fiction story about sex trafficking, abandonment, and what happens to girls society forgets - until it's too late.

In a world where loyalty is currency and silence is survival, Zoe struggles quietly to stay afloat. Beneath her gentle smiles and whispered apologies is a girl fighting not to disappear. She feels like a ghost in her own life-caught between who she's supposed to be and the nagging sense that something is deeply wrong. Whispers swirl through the city streets. Secrets hide around every corner. The people around her play games she doesn't fully understand-yet she's closer to them than she knows. Seventeen, maybe eighteen. Old enough to survive alone, young enough to feel the weight pressing her down. Most days, she drags herself through the motions: clock in. Get scolded. Scrape together rent. Repeat. Hope is scarce. Trust scarcer. Yet beneath her guarded silence, she still dreams. What keeps her going? A memory, faint but burning-her mother, who saw light where no one else did. Maybe it's spite. Maybe it's the aching need to break free from a cycle that's gnawed at her for as long as she can remember. Her world is messy, tangled with politics and secrets of powerful families-some connections she doesn't even realize yet. Some people are kind. Some are cruel. Some... far more than they seem. And Zoe? She's just trying to breathe, carving a sliver of space for herself, one defiant step at a time. Because if she stops, even for a moment... everything she's fought for could slip away. And no one will wait for her to rise again.
