Leo Sullivan & Porscha Sterling 
Gunplay & LeTavia 
Shawty Want a Thug

Raised in the heart of the hoods of Brooklyn, 18-year-old Le Tavia was the oldest of two children looked after by their grandmother after their mother ran out on them. Built with a strong sense of responsibility, it was this trait that pushed her to protect Deshaun Banks, aka Gunplay, the very first time she laid eyes on him.

Gunplay, a born hustler, ducked into a local food spot, hoping to dodge the police that were searching for him but what he found inside ended up being more than he expected. When Le Tavia immediately assisted him by attempting to hide him from the cops, he not only avoided being placed in prison for the rest of his life but he found the one woman who he would learn is loyal to him from Day 1. Or is she really?

Five years later, Gunplay is released from prison and runs into the person whom he owes his freedom to. Now 23 years old, Le Tavia is a full grown woman and just as desirable to him as she was the day they’d first met. Immediately, Gunplay sets his mind on making her his but Quisha, the chick who held him down for five years of lock up, isn’t having that.

Cutta was the king of the Harlem streets before Gunplay was locked up and, after his release, he’s even more powerful. When he hears that Gunplay has been released, he has one goal in mind and that’s to end Gunplay’s life for a betrayal he blamed Gunplay for years ago. But when fate brings him into contact with Le Tavia, his plans take a turn that even he didn’t expect and the result threatens to tear down everything that Le Tavia and Gunplay have built.

Is real love always loyal love? When the rules of the streets are mired by the desires of the heart, the results can be treacherous and, oftentimes, deadly.
