Elise, Aparis and LaKiesha have been best friends since their pre-teen years at St. Henry's Orphanage where, under the harshest circumstances, they forged a bond that was to last a lifetime.

Upon their escape, the hard lessons and rules for survival learned at the orphanage set the stage for their entry and rapid success in a do-or-die game in the Cleveland streets. The girls try to forget the painful events that orphaned them as they rise to the top, but fate forces them to face the ghosts of their haunted past.

With Elise as the beautiful mastermind and brains behind the organization, the three women plunge into a ruthless battle against their faceless, relentless enemy in a winner-take-all war to the finish.
