This is a TRUE STORY of how lust, love, lies, and sex can lead you down a dark path full of passion, jealousy, hate, betrayals, and ultimately your demise. Yazmin has been in a sexless, loveless marriage for the past two years. She is content but not happy. That is until the charming and powerful Jai comes strolling into her life. He is everything she desires in a man; charming, handsome and with just the right amount of street swag. Little does Yazmin know; Jai is not the man he portrays himself to be. Jai is controlling, abusive and used to getting what he wants by using his power and money to control the people around him. When their two worlds collide, a whirlwind romance will quickly turn into the fight of Yazmin's life.
