Synopsis:
All her life Santee Mitchell seems to keep coming up short in her mind. Growing up she
constantly played second best to her older sister Sonya, and in adulthood, the patterned
continues. She’s stuck with two-timing, drug-dealing James, while her sister lucks up and
snags a professional ball player. Not to mention the fact that her money is always running short,
when it runs at all. The last straw comes in the form of an eviction notice and an ill-timed
pregnancy. Depressed by her current state and lack of money, pride and resentment cause her
to widen the gap between her and her sister.

Determined to turn her luck around, as well as put some money in the bank, Santee turns to her
friend Monique and is immediately hypnotized by the sparkle of her diamond encrusted world.
What she doesn’t realize is that help from Monique comes with a price and Santee finds herself
sinking deeper into the dark world Monique creates for her.

Haunted by a fire that still burns for her ex and driven by a wanton lust for a trick turned savior,
Santee’s plan starts to unravel and she begins making desperate moves to get out from under
the mess she created. However, it may be too late to right her wrongs when Monique turns up
dead and she is fingered for the gruesome crime. Revealing a secret that changes her forever
and forcing her to look for answers in the one place she tried to avoid - inside herself.
