When her mother drops the parenting ball again, leaving them with no food or electricity, he steps in to help, but she wonders if he has an agenda.Jamir is a ruthless dope boy working on his big come up. Controlling only a few blocks in Atlanta just isn't enough for a cocky dude like him. As he plots how to get up to Kingpin status, he decides to do a good deed for one of his fiend's daughters. What he doesn't expect is to eventually fall for her. Especially when he has a vindictive, but convenient girlfriend by the name of Yummy and a few haters determined to block his ambitions. Kaylen and Jamir eventually find themselves dealing with a whirlwind of chaos and drama, but through it all, they can't seem to leave each other alone.
