Roman Baltasar is leader of one of New Yorks most lethal gangs. He is impulsive, prejudice, protective and deadly. Afraid of love and lust he sticks to one night stands with the "no strings attached" motive, leading him to a self destructive point in his life where his only friend is the glass of expensive rum at his bedside. He is tumbling downhill at a rate Usane Bolt would fail to match but his worse days are yet to come.
Delilah Blake is a strong, independent young lady who's mission in life is to spread laughter and all round happiness. Being 20 and in university studying psychology and sociology she is hardworking and determined, letting nothing and no one stand in her way when her mind is set on a goal. Men always let her down in the past; her father, her brother and the only two ex boyfriends she had, so she had given up to the point where she was now afraid of dying alone.
When the two mix emotions run high and the tension and frustration in the air hangs over their heads like a dark thunderous cloud. Delilah finds that she can't exactly trust anyone's word anymore and Roman discovers that not all people are toxic, but can it last? Is it safe?
