Shay knows what being a hustler's wife is all about. Being with Q is more of a curse than a gift, full of the consequences borne of bad decisions. They live in a cold, hard world, but Q had saved her from much worse at age fifteen, when her family had taught her the meaning of the word betrayal. For Q, friends don't exist and life has no promise. Getting money and selling drugs is his hustle. The streets are all he knows and the only things that matter is protecting Shay and keeping his organization on top.

When their house gets robbed and his team starts getting hot, Q looks at everyone as a potential enemy. Heartbroken, scared and confused, Shay turns to her best friends, Star and Keisha, for comfort and begins to realize that power, jealousy and revenge can turn the people closest to her into vicious enemies.

Feeling scorned, she loses faith in everyone around her, including Q. Will she get caught up in a dangerous game that destroys everything, or will Q be able to save her once again? ... Before it's too late.
