Imani Carter never asked to be a "ride or die."
She just fell for a boy from her block who knew all her broken pieces and held them like secrets.
At 22, Imani's juggling CNA shifts, overdue bills, and a complicated love with Anthony Robinson, a street-tied, smooth-talking man who's half healing and half hazard. One summer night, a shooting in the projects leaves his cousin bleeding, a 12-year-old boy dead, and Anthony facing serious time. When the case hits court, Imani isn't just in the crowd... she's on the witness stand, forced to choose between what she saw, what she feels, and what could bury him.
If saving him means breaking you... who do you choose?
