Growing up in “Do or Die Bed Stuy” Brooklyn, Benita Renee Jenkins has a great job, loving family, loads of friends, and the hope of one day becoming a crime scene investigator. She has everything going for her, until she unknowingly crosses paths with Miguel Perkins, a hot secret agent working for a clandestine agency created to throw the book at the most untouchable of bad guys. He is hell-bent on having Benita infiltrate the life of an ex-gangbanger who has built his music empire on corruption. When Benita is set up for a crime she didn’t commit, Perkins gives her a choice: go to jail or come work for him. No choice if she wants to keep the ones she loves safe. With combat training and a full-fledged makeover, this former hairstylist turned secret agent plans to take down the bad guys one thug at a time.
