In a city of secrets, the cost of love is rising.

Jasmine is tired of waiting. Trading her apron for a diamond necklace, she enters the orbit of Smiley Washington, a ruthless real estate mogul who treats people like assets. But she soon learns that the view from the penthouse comes with a price tag she might not be able to afford.

De'von has lost his girl, his home, and his pride. Driven by jealousy and desperation, he turns to the dark streets to reclaim what's his, setting off a chain reaction that threatens to burn the city down.

From the manicured lawns of the Blackwood Estate to the gritty backrooms of the underworld, paths collide, secrets are exposed, and the line between love and survival blurs.

Loyalty is a luxury. Intimacy is a weapon. Passion is dangerous. Sex is the currency.
