Born in the hood,16 year old Mariah Brown has a mind of a thug.Her whole life is based off of Designer clothes/Shoes,and money,but of course she didn't own anything of that.She's been without her mom for her whole life& her dad.......well her dad that's a different story.Her dad Eric B. loved her so much,so much to the point where he wanted her in bed with him,and that's exactly what he got,he raped her several times. Mariah's best friend Nicole Woodings is the only person by her side,the only person that was down for her since kindergarten.Mariah can trust her with anything.......or so she thought. Mariah meets a hood nigga named Ja'quan(Ja) who lives down her block,She falls in love with him and can believe anything he says. Life lesson #1 -Don't believe everything you hear,And if you can't take the heat, the streets ......:not always a good place to walk "(If u know what I mean)
