The Landing Strip

Thirty-two year old Marion Howard, is second in command of Roman Skinner's gang in Brooklyn. He'd been an orphan since he was sixteen and Roman's gang is the only family he's known. He used to be one of the guys on the block, but has since climbed his way up the ladder. When he was making his way up the organization, his house is hit by a rival gang and his girlfriend Ramona was killed. Since then, he swore off love because he knows that'll just make them a target for others and he can't be there to protect them. Until, he meets Mikayla. Mikayla doesn't believe in love either, especially from any of the guys in the hood who'll promise you the world only to leave you with a baby in your belly and nothing else. She remembers the way her deadbeat father would get drunk and abuse her mother, and believe that if given the chance, men will just want to take advantage of her and hurt her in the end. She has little trust for men. The only one she can trust, is her little brother Latrell. But lately, she's becoming more and more worried about Latrell and the people he's been hanging around with.When she and Marion are faced with the trials and tribulations of love, she calls off their relationship and tried to move on with her life. However, when Roman becomes upset after Marion's performance slips,he takes his frustrations out on Mikayla, just as he did Ramona. In the end, Marion reigns supreme and Roman becomes erased, leaving Latrell struggling with trying to become the next top drug dealer.
