MASK ON… The problem with being fake is that eventually your mask starts to fall and when it does, people around you won’t recognize the person before them. This is what happens to Ember. Ember has had to wear a mask most of her life to not only keep people from getting in but to also keep herself from having her heart crushed into a million pieces. Her first heartbreak didn’t come from a man…it came from her mother Neecee. When Neecee leaves Ember to be raised by her father she builds an ice box around her heart. Eventually she meets her knight and shining armor Iro. Iro is a man any woman with a pulse would love to have. He’s handsome, owns a bakery, gives Ember a loving home, stability and anything her heart desires but there’s one problem…Ember can’t make herself love him the way a wife should love her husband but she keeps her mask on in hopes one day that will change. MASK OFF… Feeling empty and unfilled with the life Iro provides, Embers starts having a torrid affair with a man name Ford. He brings her excitement and the best sex she’s ever had. This leaves Ember torn between the man she needs and the man she wants. When her mother Neecee returns to Detroit to rekindle a relationship with Ember, she’s bringing lies, deceit, a fiancé and a score to settle with Ember’s dad William. See what happens when all of them have to take the masks off. You never know what someone is holding onto on the inside…so get ready for this group to bare their souls but in order to do that, everyone must unveil secrets! Life changing secrets. Are you ready to attend this mental masquerade ball? If so put your mask on and enter Ember’s world but there’s only one rule…at some point the mask must come off.
