Life has been one hustle after another for Jasmine Reyes.
After her parents abandoned her and her twin brother Jason,
they often took to the streets in their quest to survive.
When a violent episode results in her brother’s arrest and
suicide, Jasmine vows to find another way. She literally
hustles to quit the game and eventually opens her own bail
bond agency, leaving behind street life but holding onto her
street smarts. Despite her hardcore background – and even because of it –
Jasmine occasionally gives a client the break that no one
ever gave her. One such client is talented graffiti artist
Malcolm "Macho" Booker who reminds her of another writer
still close to her heart – her brother Jason. Against the
advice of sometimes lover and police officer Calvin, Jasmine
bails Macho out of jail. For eight months, he proves worth
the gamble until he mysteriously disappears. After finding an unusual database on Macho’s computer,
Jasmine’s search leads her into the path – and eventually
the arms – of Dr. Adriano Suárez, the handsome founder of
the community health clinic where Macho worked. Jasmine and
the doctor turned crusader have many things in common – deep
passions, grand ideas, unhealed scars, and even dangerous
secrets. As Jasmine’s investigation conjures the ghosts of her ugly
past, finding Macho before Suárez uncovers her true identity
becomes a matter of life and death in ways she never imagined.
