Zaïre is a junior at Davis University, the only HBCU in the state of Illinois. His football career, his family’s one-way ticket out of the slums, is stamped in gold! Before Skylar’s move-in day, he was already the big man on campus, unbeknownst to her. Will their relationship survive past registration day? Or will that which is meant to safeguard this green, church girl annihilate their passion?
