Jeryca and her girls are the typical hood chicks, always on the prowl for a come-up and dead set on making it out of the hood. Jeryca thinks she has the perfect mark to finance her escape in Thad Royster, a certified playboy and drug dealer with plenty of stacks to blow. But what will happen when Thad sees right through her fake persona and phony emotions? As she learns more about Thad's treacherous ways, Jeryca becomes fueled by anger. Now she is out to settle the score with everyone who has crossed her, and Thad is her first target. Farrah is the one chick in the crew who lucked up on a guaranteed payday by becoming Larry's baby mama, but when Larry flips the script on her, she's completely thrown off her game. Farrah is fighting a war to keep her son, and she will do whatever it takes. Has she taken on more than she can handle?

When Thad's crew makes a dirty play, she's forced to choose between riding for her man and her loyalty to her girls. Which side will she stand on when the dust settles? Dana is the only chick in the clique who intends to get her money the legit way. With a budding career in law, she decides to change her circle and shed the "hood chick" label. When old ties pull on her heartstrings, however, she's quickly pulled back into the mix. As she takes on the role as the leader of their robbing crew, she is determined to find out just who is loyal and who isn't. Is she ready to face the harsh truth? Thad and his crew are searching for the individuals responsible for the murderous and thieving acts that occur at his trap house, but will they find that leaving well enough alone was better?
