She was also a mom at fourteen years old, and did what she had to do to raise

her daughter, Chyna. Now Chyna's all grown up, a stunningly beautiful exotic

dancer with a baby girl of her own, while super-sexy Roxy is at the height of

her power running Harlem Heat, a gun-trafficking ring. It's a lucrative life-

style some would do anything to have. And when former drug kingpin Panama Pete

returns to the hood after serving fifteen years in prison, a spiral of violence

traps Roxy and Chyna and has them running from the law - and running for their

lives.

Take a look at the lives of some street-smart women who will learn what living the fast-paced life can mean in the end if you are not careful.


What if you were raised to be a hooker and worst of all, your father was your pimp? In Keepin' It In The Family, this isn't just a nightmare for the Collins daughters, this is reality. Raised without the guidance of their mother, Diamond, Essence and Chanel were forced onto the streets at a very young age. They were expected to make that money by any means necessary, or face the wrath of their daddy, Dallas Collins. Can the girls bang together in order to free themselves from Dallas?

In Pound Cake, we bring you to Coney Island, where four friends deal with daily life in one of the deadliest parts of the borough. Pound Cake, a beautiful yet fiery nineteen-year-old, is the leader of the pack. People in the streets know not to mess with Pound Cake or her homegirls. So when a local hustler named Winter impregnates and then abuses Minnie, the youngest of the group, Pound Cake won't stand for it. She is going to find a way to make him pay.

So Seductive introduces you to the world of Cinnamon and Simone. Best friends since childhood, they are every man's fantasy and they know it. They love to play with men and get whatever they want from them. But when one of their night's escapades turns violent, will the girls change, or will they fall prey to the unforgiving Brooklyn streets?
