Four brothers, Taliban, Tedman, Tremaine, and Taahid, better known as the Williams brothers. Taliban is thirty-one years old, but if you ask him, he’ll say that he feels like a man who has lived twice his lifetime. With a father serving a life sentence, and a mother strung out on drugs, Taliban had no choice but to step up and become the head of his family while still in high school. As a boy with grown man responsibilities, Taliban ran into issues with the law, which caused him to be in and out of the prison system. During his incarceration, Taliban’s brothers were forced to live with their aunt, where they endured things that the young men have never revealed. Tedman is twenty-five, and he’s the hothead brother. Tedman is reckless, and if someone doesn’t push him to do good, he’s bound to create a world of trouble. What caused Tedman to be this way? He takes medication for depression and anxiety, but a secret from his past may be the cause of his conditions. Will Tedman ever trust anyone enough to share his burdens and get the help he needs? Then, there’s Tremaine. Tremaine is seventeen years old, a senior in high school, and a star athlete on the football field. He has dreams of going to college and playing in the NFL, so he can take care of his family. His primary goal is to repay Taliban for all he’s sacrificed to raise him. Tremaine is a good kid, but he somehow gets himself wrapped up with the wrong person who just might turn his dream into a nightmare. Lastly, there is Taahid. Taahid is the baby at only fourteen years old. His father was sentenced to life in prison when Taahid was only two months old, and shortly after, his mother abandoned the family. He doesn’t remember ever having parents to protect and care for him. Taahid suffers from depression just like his older brother Tedman, but the only difference is that Taahid suffers in silence. Fearing that his family will not accept his truth, he fights his battles on his own until one day, it all becomes too much. Four brothers, with four different personalities, but they each share some of the same hurt. Then, there’s Sage Davis. Sage is the fiancée of famous Miami street king, Apollo. They share a beautiful daughter, but in the blink of an eye, Sage is left without her king, and their daughter is left fatherless. Sage is under the impression that she’s lost her everything. She thinks that she’s lost God’s greatest gift to a woman, but as the days go by, she learns that the person she spent the last ten years of her life with was someone she hardly even knew. What do you get when fate constantly brings together two people who are at completely different stages in life, status, and wealth? You get Taliban and Sage. Can it work, though? Can a man like Taliban, who has endured so much, really connect with a woman like Sage? Sage is forbidden fruit; her fiancé was street royalty in Miami, so she’s considered off limits. How can it ever work between the two? Just wait and see.
