F.A.C.E. (Fragile. Angel. Crushed. Emotionally.)

In the gritty, neon-lit streets of Detroit, where dreams flicker like dying stars, Shaleta is trapped in a cycle of emotional abuse, as her spirit is slowly crushed by her manipulative boyfriend, Kris. He controls her with empty promises and cruel words, leaving her isolated, ashamed, and convinced she’s nothing without him. But Shaleta’s world begins to unravel when she crosses paths with Ebony, a homeless woman sleeping in the alley behind her apartment. Ebony isn’t just another face in the shadows—she’s a mirror, reflecting the future Shaleta is hurtling toward if she doesn’t break free. Ebony, once a vibrant woman with a life of her own, lost everything after failing to save her best friend—Shaleta’s late sister, Alicia—from a similar fate. Now, she’s determined to pull Shaleta from the same abyss. With raw honesty and unshakable strength, Ebony forces Shaleta to confront the truth: her relationship with Kris isn’t love—it’s a prison. But breaking free isn’t easy. Kris’s hold on Shaleta is as much about fear as it is about control, and he won’t let her go without a fight. Enter My’Sean, Shaleta’s high school sweetheart and the man who once called her his North Star—a symbol of guidance, hope, and unconditional love. My’Sean never stopped caring for Shaleta, but her choices pushed him away. When he witnesses Kris’s betrayal firsthand, his patience snaps, sparking a violent confrontation that leaves Kris humiliated and vengeful. My’Sean’s love for Shaleta is real, but after years of watching her choose Kris, he’s done waiting. As Shaleta teeters on the edge of self-destruction, Ebony’s diary—a heartbreaking account of love, loss, and redemption—becomes her lifeline. Through its pages, Shaleta uncovers the painful truth about her sister’s death and Ebony’s own fall from grace. The diary isn’t just a warning; it’s a roadmap to reclaiming her worth. But Kris isn’t ready to lose control. His obsession with Shaleta spirals into madness, culminating in a shocking act of violence that leaves lives shattered and fates forever changed.
