Right Kinda Hood

Eastland Joseph, better known as “East” to anyone outside of family, has the respect of the streets and the knowledge of a kingpin. His past life experiences have made him the man he is today. It was never glamorous, but it was necessary. Forced to be the man of the house at a young age, East has always handled business and family before anything. Settling down with one woman has never fit into the hierarchy of his needs.

Joi loves hard and, at times, too much. Her loyalty has kept her in a relationship with a man who does not value her as he should, but with no evidence of any wrong doing, Joi cannot bring herself to leave. Having something at the end of the day is better than nothing, and Joi only has gut feelings.

Joi’s best friend, Nyelle, is all about her son. After news of her longtime boyfriend’s infidelities comes out in the worst way, she is no longer concerned with a relationship. Taking care of home and making sure her son is happy are her only focuses.

In Vega’s mind, it will always be loyalty over anything. That mind frame caused him to lose three years of his life. Now that he is home, Vega’s way of thinking has changed. No longer concerned with the fast life, Vega is ready to try something different.

Each of these four has their own insecurities and doubts that they have to work through in order to see what’s in front of them. Each guarded for their own reasons, they must decide if the potential benefits of a new relationship outweigh the risks. Will they decide to take that leap, or will the past stand in the way of what could be a beautiful future?
