Lynne, Diamond’s mother, is a single parent, and her older brother, Junior, is the breadwinner. Ten toes down and running, Junior makes more money in one day than Lynne makes in a week. To keep Diamond out of the streets, Junior agrees to deposit $1,000 per month into her college fund as long as she gets straight A’s on her report card, stays out of the streets, studies pre-law in college, and never dates a hustler!
Diamond is college bound when Champ comes to town. Now she must choose between the future her family planned for her and her love for Champ, a forbidden fruit and hustler.
