Amiri is the hood's golden boy-star athlete, straight-A student, college-bound with scholarships and a way out. But the streets don't let go easy, and neither does his best friend, Banks-a dropout turned hustler, knee-deep in the game, and loyal to the life that raised him. They've always had each other's backs, no matter how different their paths. But when Kazima, a quiet new girl with a haunting past, moves into the neighborhood, everything shifts. Tension brews. Secrets surface. And the line between friend and enemy begins to blur. In a world where loyalty can get you killed and dreams cost more than most can pay, Amiri and Banks must decide: stay solid-or survive. One wrong move could cost them everything.
One's chasing freedom, the other's trapped in the streets-and the girl between them might burn it all down.
