Summary: Malek Shaw is the best - and the worst - thing that has ever happened to three very different young ladies from the Marcy Projects. Helena Smith was just about to escape the ghetto on an academic scholarship, when the events of the night of her boyfriend's 18th birthday pulled her back into its clutches. Storm Johnson was happily settled with Malek until the morning the police came knocking and a charge of possession with intent landed in her lap. Keyshawn Nixon is Malek's old flame. An ex-prostitute, she is seeking revenge on Malek, the man who turned her out.
