a group of young Staten Island, New York hustlers as they work to step out from the shadows of the once mob-driven island. These friends will either choose wisely or fall prey to the mistakes of past generations if there is one thing that Staten Islanders can agree on, it's that word travels fast around the borough of the island and manifest around it. Ayla meets a young yet smooth talker named shawn who adores her and her personality. Her parents think the total opposite. They think that he just wants her because she's from Staten and wants to publicly humiliate her. Ayla's a smart girl and knows what to do and knows what's right and what's wrong.
