Katrina was destitute, on drugs and out on her luck when she decided to take her life and leave her two young adolescent children to fend for themselves.While many people in the ghetto see no way out of it, young Nina and her younger brother Jimmy fought together to maintain their family and keep alive their hope to become productive adults. Nina and Jimmy overcame sexual abuse and neglect in a drug and prostitution infested neighborhood to become a successful police officer, loving wife and professional basketball player respectively. Nina and Jimmy never lost sight of their dream even though they had no idea what life had in store for them.
