A fast-paced look at the lives of some street-smart women who think they know it all, but are about to get the lessons of their lives. Katara attempts suicide but soon finds out what she thought would be an easy escape from reality is a fate she wouldn't wish on her worst enemy; Shay is released from jail for the manslaughter of her stepfather and vows never to let anyone hurt her again; and three voluptuous residents of a ruthless housing project try to get money out of one of the biggest dope boys from a rival project.
