The buried parts of your past always resurface...
Ebony bombshell Shatima Thomas has been led by her spiritual guides to the Nat Turner Housing Projects in South Sanford, a city plagued by yet blamed for a crime ring that is used to fund the rest of the county. Her desire to find the family she was separated from after her father's death is eclipsed by the dark secrets about how she became a single mother. When her son's fahter starts stalking her, keeping her son from being kidnapped and forced into the child trafficking ring covered by media lies seems impossible.
Shatima is leery about the hope she finds in Rahshaan Bailey, a sexy thug with a reputation for being cold-hearted. She can't get caught up in the hood love story she thinks he'll have her entangled in, but finding out he holds a key to her past makes her consider giving him a chance. When the buried parts of their pasts resurface, can they guide one another through murder and misfortune so that the two of them can lead their city out of the Hell on Earth that has taken so much from them?
