It isn’t until Crescent’s son is born and she’s raising him alone in the projects that she finally understands where her parents were coming from when they wouldn’t condone her relationship. Determined to succeed, Crescent focuses on raising her son to the best of her ability and graduating from college. Things are going according to plan when she meets the handsome Hamisi. Crescent promises herself that she won’t date any more men that engage in illegal activities, but something about Hamisi won’t allow her to deny him. Not even his dark eyes that have seen too much and his sometimes aggressive ways are enough to turn her off. Crescent falls hard, and once Hamisi reveals a secret to her that he’s never told anyone else, it becomes her objective to save him. But Crescent may end up breaking her own heart when she realizes that saving him may mean damaging herself.
