What do you do when the one you want you can't have until getting them is the only thing that will make you feel complete? Meet good girl, Iyana Wilkers, stuck in a dead end relationship with her prejudice, biracial boyfriend, Elijah, who she met in college. While drop dead gorgeous, Elijah's struggles with his own issues being born to a black father he hates and a white mother he despises. With a need to be better than his father, Elijah latches on to Iyana who is just as vulnerable as him, but hers is because of the color of her dark skin. Ironically, it is this same dark skin her older sister, Myriah, teased her about making her feel like the little, ugly duckling sister. Then there is Kaizer Paul AKA Keyz, bad boy and leader of the Come Up Boys crew, who has wanted Iyana since their chance meeting one day in middle school. Unfortunately, after dropping out to get into the game, Keyz' misses his opportunity to get his girl instead focusing on making money and taking care of his mother and younger siblings. Years later, Keyz runs into Myriah unaware that she is Iyana's older sister and a poisonous thorn in his side. If that's not enough, betrayal hits even closer to home as someone in his crew has a few secrets of his own. Will Keyz and Iyana finally get their shot at love? Or will the family secrets and lies destroy any chance they have to finally be together?
