As a professional football player, Jrue should be living a life of luxury when he's not on the field. Yet, he finds himself with the odds stacked against him. If it's not his money hungry and resentful family members trying to dip in his pockets at every opportunity, it's women coming at him from all angles, trying to attach themselves to Jrue. Tired and frustrated, Jrue finds himself being traded to Atlanta, his hometown, and he can only hope for some peace. Yet, his cup is looking half-empty instead of half-full. Fleeing one problem, only for several more to be waiting for him causes Jrue to experience a mental spiral. He tries to keep his head down, but the universe seems hell-bent on disrupting any chance at peace.
Jream has never been the center of anyone's universe. Not her mother's - who's suffering from early onset Alzheimer's and other mental issues, not the man she can't seem to escape - who think it's his right to treat her like trash, and not the world who refuses to value Black women. Jream is tired of the terrible cards she's always beendealt. A little bit of light between the stormy clouds is all Jream wants, but it feels so out of reach. When things get darker than ever before, Jream pushes herself up one last time to reach for that ray of sunshine.
Jrue and Jream are two broken, and tortured souls. Entering one another's orbit could be dangerous, causing everyone to be sucked into a black hole, or they may just have the luck of a shooting star on their side, making their life's wishes of much more come true.
