Shea, Yaz, and Lai Lai, were all material girls even at a young age. They always had the hottest shoes and clothes, the best hair and hottest boys in the hood. Everyone wanted to be down with them, but their circle remained three deep. Now, as adults, each of the friends have their own hustle and love lives. Shea is the booster of the group; she had long ago quit and was living in the lap of luxury. She has a young son with her man Brasco, but when he gets incarcerated leaving her to fend for BJ all alone, she goes back to what she knows. Determined to stay loyal to her man for the duration of his bid, she turns down many advances from men willing to spoil her and provide her every need. However, everyone knows that fast money goes even quicker than it comes, will Shea be able to maintain the lifestyle she's become accustomed to, or will she fold like every other chick placed in her situation? Yaz is the scammer and wildest one out of the group. She makes her living by any scheme you can think of, from credit card fraud to cashing hot checks. You name it, Yaz has been there, done it, and cashed out several times from it. She's been with Asim since she was in middle school but has grown tired of him having babies on her, so she's out for revenge. Never does it cross her mind to leave Asim, but revenge was something that felt good to her. Whenever Asim does something, she goes out and does the same thing. In return, he goes on a rampage, fighting and shooting at anybody he thinks she was involved with, only to be right back with her. They are both crazy in love with each other, but when Yaz does the unthinkable, will he forgive her? Lai Lai, the stripper of the group, but oddly the most laid back. Like her friends, all Yaz can see is the green, but unlike her friends, she has no love interest nor is she looking for one. The way she saw it, men weren't good for anything beyond what was in their bank accounts. She could do without the fake love and going through the motions with someone who would only break her heart in the end. She had seen that movie, hated it, and vowed never to watch it again. In the end, all you had was your money and your word, and she stood on that. That is until the handsome young thug, Q, comes around thinking he can melt the ice around her heart, but Lai Lai was bad to the bone. You play with fire, you get burned, and Lai Lai was a hot girl. Would Q be able to turn her out, or would he end up scorned like the rest of the men who tried her?
