But when her business grows beyond what she can handle, she turns to Malik, an infamous drug dealer and murderer...and now the stakes are even higher. Does Simone have what it takes to survive the street life? Or will she go back to what she knows best-being a mom and working a nine-to-five like normal people? Find out just how far a mother will go to take care of her kids in this raw and compelling tale of urban survival.
