The man who claims to be her son’s biological father has turned up and wants to make amends for the past thirteen years. If Charlotte gives in to his increasing requests, she may lose the only child she has left.However, Curtis and Charlotte have been through too much together to give up now.

As the highest-grossing drug dealer on Denver&’s south side, he&’s attracted the attention of the Denver Narcotics unit.
