A young mother will do anything to flee from her abusive and drug dealer boyfriend, but some other people are caught in the middle by this decision, which leads to a series of life-changing events.

Dream, a once-happy girl gets caught in an abusive and frustrating love life with her boyfriend, Cheez, a ruthless and top game player in the underworld. Dream realizes the life she had always dreamed of will never happen with Cheez, who treats her like a punching bag while he’s also busy running the drug connect for his boss, Gomez.

Dream decides to escape with her friend, child, and all the cash she can carry along with her. Cheez feels Dream leaving him is a sign of weakness as the overseer of the Gomez Cartel, and he will do anything to stop her.

Meanwhile, Low, a member of the cartel who is also eyeing Cheez’s position, thinks the best he can do to spite him is to help Dream escape. Low contracts Dice and Trigga for Dream’s escape even though this job will cause Trigga to return to a part of his life he worked so hard to break away from.

Love meets pain and power meets betrayal as everyone fights to make sure their goal is achieved.

The Gomez syndicate is one of Milwaukee’s deadliest criminal organizations. When Cheez, one of its high-ranking members is assassinated, his wife Amilia is left with tremendous grief … and little to no answers as to who’s responsible.

Cheez’s death leaves a power vacuum within the gangland landscape, one which is quickly filled by a gangster named Secret, who later begins spending time with Amilia. Of course, Secret’s sudden close proximity to the grieving widow is no accident. Her father is, after all, head of the Gomez syndicate. But Secret’s seat at the table was sealed in blood when he agreed to kill Amilia’s husband at the behest of her dad, who wanted him dead for cheating on his daughter. An act of betrayal which not only produced a child, but also gained Amilia some deadly new foes.

As Secret and Amilia start to bond, the former remains emotionally torn over his devious deed, while the latter sees an opportunity to finally eradicate an assortment of enemies, both business and personal.
