Ivy Jones believes she is the most striking woman in Detroit, and her attention is fixed on her own advancement. She spends time with wealthy men and anyone willing to spend money on her, and she sees herself as a skilled operator who can win over any man she picks. Then she meets Hakeem Miller, a New Yorker with a confident style and a reputation as a street-smart hustler who lives by his own code of loyalty. Women are drawn to him and men are wary of him. Ivy plans to win some of his time and money, but what she finds may be more than she bargained for. Each of them is hiding something, and the attraction between them carries real danger. Can love and loyalty survive a tangle of competing motives?
