Knocked Out By Love: Trisha and June

By: Jontu' Clayborn

A'Trisha Aarons is working her way through college; she spends her days caring for her ailing grandmother and younger sister, and her nights working at a local fast food joint in order to keep food on the table and a roof over their head. At a young age, she is all work and no play, and her social life is nonexistent. When Trisha comes across a guy that helps to bring out the fun in her life, she is able to breathe a little easier with his financial help. Not wanting to feel like a gold digger, Trisha takes his generosity in moderation but when that relationship takes a turn and she hits a rough patch, she is stuck trying to pick up the pieces. The weight of it all seems to be too much for her to carry and Trisha seems to feel as though she has no more fight left in her.June Damien has that hustler mentality; he is an amateur boxer and is working at his father's body shop to save enough money for his pro fighter training. When his father's shop catches fire and his father files for bankruptcy, June is left unemployed and trying to figure out his next move. With a felony hanging over his head, he doesn't have the best luck at finding a new gig. The bills are piling up and he needs to make ends meet fast; in his slump, he falls back into bad habits and that shoebox money starts to dwindle. June reaches a point of desperation and will try his hand at just about anything to get the money train back rolling.After June and Trisha cross paths one too many times, they hit it off and begin to form a solid bond that gives both individuals a new sense of hope. The two begin to rely on each other to fight their battles but when one night of joking turns into reality, the two take on life as the modern day Bonnie and Clyde, and they will stop at nothing trying to achieve their dreams.
