Love doesn't come easily – especially for China. With her family out of the picture, China must rely on her friends and her street savvy for safety and security. Sadly, friendship doesn't always survive the struggles of the streets.    

Tragedy strikes China's life constantly, trapping her in a vicious cycle of mental and physical abuse. Every time China thinks she's safe, her hopes of happiness are knocked right back down. Whether it's a man, a friend, or her own family, it seems like she's always one step from violence and betrayal.

Hustler after hustler work their way into her life, and China never knows who to trust. Will she find the love and the family she's been longing for, or will she be tossed around like a CHINA DOLL for her entire life?
