Being a nurse, Brooklyn Jackson finds joy in taking care of others. She adamantly loves her position and has a love for nursing and her family. However, after being betrayed by the love of her life, the notion of falling in love again has become a severe after-effect that she fully despises, avoiding it at all costs. As a result, she has placed a chastity belt over her heart, vowing to never let anyone else in again. But will Brooklyn meet a man that is strong enough to break down her barriers and take over her heart by storm? A very sought-after and prominent photographer, Brooklyn’s sister and best friend, Amina Jackson, is happily in love and is on the verge of her happily ever after. Regrettably, Amina quickly learns that there is a downside to love, reminding her that just like a cubic zirconia, everything that appears to be a real diamond isn’t. Picking up the pieces of their lives and starting fresh, Brooklyn and Amina head to Mississippi with a renewed mind and spirit. However, Mississippi just may be too much to handle, causing them to not be prepared for what’s in store for them. Can the Jackson sisters handle the pressure that lies ahead for them? Or will they fold and lose themselves in the process? The move to Mississippi proves to be challenging for Brooklyn and Amina, especially after running into the dynamic duo of Raheem and Mackenzie.
