Every Hustler's reign ends in one of two ways: prison or death. Refusing to let that prediction become a reality, Julius "Jules" Carter creates new rules to an old game. Strategically, he forms one of the most notorious drug operations Harlem has ever seen. Jules thought the game was his biggest challenge—until he meets Tish.

Young and ambitious, Tish is determined to escape from Harlem's allure, but her love for Jules has her rooted. It isn't long before she's tangled in Julius' web of lies and deceit. When she finds out about his past demons and connects them with her own, she discovers that there's a thin line between love and hate.

You can't turn a bad girl good, but once a good girl turns bad, she's gone forever. Julius finds out the hard way that everything done in the dark eventually comes to light.
