to me"
The story is set at Club Shazam, a thriving strip club in Orlando, Florida, where Jewel, a tough and ambitious dancer, is doing her best to navigate the complex and dangerous world of stripping. The club is buzzing with excitement during All-Star weekend, and Jewel delivers an electrifying performance that draws the attention of everyone in the room.
As Jewel navigates this volatile world, she becomes entangled with Franklin, a new, mysterious bad boy who quickly sparks her interest. Unlike the men she’s dealt with before, Franklin seems different—charming yet dangerous—and his presence stirs something in Jewel that she’s not used to feeling. This new dynamic challenges Jewel’s carefully constructed walls, and she begins to question what she wants in her life, especially when it comes to love and trust.
Jewel’s cousin and best friend, Diamond, is also a dancer at the club, and the two share a deep bond, although they are each dealing with their own issues. The most significant of these is Diamond's past with Que, a man who she delivered the ultimate betrayal just weeks before causing him an unexpected brush with death. Que is back in the city with a vengeance, he made a vow to make her suffer.
Meanwhile, Jewel’s ex, Fish, is still lurking in the background, playing his usual manipulative role, adding more strain to Jewel’s already difficult life. Her interactions with Franklin, Diamond, and Fish force Jewel to face hard truths about herself and the people she keeps around her.
With past betrayals, complicated relationships, and the allure of new love, Jewel’s journey is a tumultuous one, full of risky decisions and emotional battles. As tension builds, her loyalty to Diamond and her growing feelings for Franklin could ultimately change the course of her life forever.
