When love becomes a game everyone involved loses... What started as
a chance meeting as teenagers and grew into love, turned into
something ugly when love become a competition to see who could hurt
who more. Jake knew he was in love with Trina from the moment he
first laid eyes on her. He was young and naive to the ways of the
opposite sex. Jake knew that he would have Trina for himself one
day, but at the present moment Jake was more concerned with living
out his dreams of being the next Scarface. First he would get the
money, then he would get the power, and after that he would get the
ladies. Jake was still working on step 1 of the Scarface rules to
success.... Trina was 16 years old when she first met Jake. Trina
had lived a very experienced and promiscuous 16 years. She'd been
in relationships with much older men since the age of 13. She
didn't even bother to deal with boys her own age. Trina only dated
men. When she met Jake she used him as a toy to play with for fun.
She had no plans to ever have sex with him or be in a relationship
of any kind with him. She played games with him for a whole summer,
but somewhere along the lines things changed and Trina found
herself falling hard for Jake. The minute that she fell for Jake he
was out to get revenge on her for playing him all summer. He
cheated on her to get revenge for her playing with him. When Trina
found out she cheated on him as a way to get back at him. This
started a process that went on well into their adult years. They
constantly loved each other just to end up hurting one another.
Throughout all of the trials, tribulations, and cheating the one
thing that remained in tact was their friendship. They were best
friends and regardless of whatever else was happening in their
lives they always had each others backs and that was more important
than anything. As Trina and Jake grew older they knew that the day
would come when they would have to make the final decision to be a
couple and continue to hurt one another or just be friends. Will
Jake and Trina take one last shot and risk losing a lifelong
friendship in the pursuit of love?
Be careful what you ask for because you just might get it It seemed
like Antonio Thompson was born to lose...at everything. Tone had
bad luck ever since he could remember. and that had not changed
over the years. He was what most people considered a true loser.

habitual loser. Even when things seemed to be going good for Tone

live a life of crime but failed miserably. While doing time in
prison Tone discovered his true passion.....gambling. Tone gambled
on anything and usually lost. His losing ways continued after he
was released from prison. Tone prayed to have good luck just once
so he could know how it felt. His prayers were answered in the form
of a winning lottery ticket worth $125,000. Never having this kind
of money before Tone made the mistake of thinking that he was rich.
He ran through the money in less than a month and quickly became
the biggest joke in the hood. Tone sank into a deep depression. To
live your whole life with no money is something that you can learn
to deal with, but to have had some money and then have to go back
to nothing is a tough pill to swallow. Mysteriously Tone is blessed
with amazing luck after the lottery fiasco and he can't lose even
if he tried. He obtains everything he's ever wanted in life. Tone
soon finds out that what he thought was a blessing is really a
curse and the curse comes with a heavy price. How far is Tone
willing to go to have the material possessions of this world

his money and energy into the rap group he manages M.O.E. Once he
puts his hustler's mentality into the music business things take
