Sereia Wilson grew up in the trenches—in a housing project popularly known as The Woods. There she lived with her big brother, Demetrius. For almost ten years it's just been the two of them, with their mother being deceased and their father serving a life sentence behind prison walls. Demetrius, as the main provider, does whatever's necessary to keep a roof over his and his sister's heads. However, life takes a traumatic turn for the worst, changing life as Sereia's known it, forever.

Exodus Christ grew up in conditions completely opposite of Sereia. He might not have been raised in the projects, but he's no stranger to the hood. As the eldest son of Pastor Isaiah Christ, his name carried weight throughout the treacherous streets of Brickhaven, Michigan, with a reputation rooted in faith, respect, and legacy. But after his father's death, everything shifted. The same love that once surrounded the Christ family turned into fear, and Exodus found himself at the center of it all. Leading his brothers, making decisions that blurred the line between right and wrong, and carrying responsibilities that came at a cost.

In the wake of tragedy, two completely different worlds collide. Bound by loss and pulled together by forces neither of them fully understands, their paths begin to cross in ways that shift everything.
