The best-laid plans often go awry. Yet much of Rekia Avery's life had been a testament to how well she could defy the odds. Surely, she thought, she could do it once more by sustaining a long distance relationship with her college sweetheart. With this confidence in mind and her best friend by her side, Rekia set her sights on the nation's capital and never looked back at the life she was leaving behind. Everything was going according to plan when Rekia meets a local tattoo artist, Xion Richardson. He's on the mend after a few hardships and all he wants to do is focus on being a good father to his son and a legit businessman in his neighborhood. The two befriend each other just as Rekia's life is turning upside down and she's forced to re-evaluate everything she believed she once wanted. Xion's selfless friendship helps her rebuild her faith in herself while Rekia's caring spirit restores his outlook on love. Yet with all they are for each other, neither is willing to admit what everyone around them recognizes as fact: these two were truly made for each other.
