Carl Allen Hampton has spent five years building Millennium Realty into a powerhouse brokerage in the Detroit Metro market. Standing beside him during this journey has been long-time girlfriend and fiance', Pamela Matthews, and long-time employee, Angela Miles.

This story follows his journey to success and chronicles how he makes some powerful enemies along the way. His life falls apart when two months before his and Pam's wedding, she abruptly moves out. Adding insult to injury, she starts a professional and romantic relationship with his bitter rival, Jason Davis.

Things get worse when the investors in a blockbuster deal pull out at the last minute. Carl Allen must raise three million, five hundred thousand dollars, in forty-five days or go bankrupt. Bankruptcy is not an option, he'd lose everything he's worked years to build.

What started as a routine day, changed his life when he walked by Felicia's Bump N Curl. Sitting under the dryer was Jessica Williams, a sultry, and voluptuous woman. They locked eyes and the fire started to burn. The attraction was mutual, and Jessica stopped by Millennium Realty to introduce herself.

Three days before it seemed he's about to go bankrupt, Jessica steps up and provides the money he needs. Carl Allen soon finds out that this money comes with hella strings! Jessica's sketchy past and ruthless reputation lead him down a path he'd rather not have taken.

Before the journey is over, Carl Allen finds himself facing the Detroit Police Department, the Department of Justice, (DOJ), and the Internal Revenue Service, (IRS).

These are minor complications, the entanglement with Jessica might just cost him his life. Carl Allen finds out the hard way, when you play with fire, you will probably get burned.
