Hood Rat (n.): A woman of questionable repute, one
who has been known to "get around" in the
'hood. Yoshi is young,
fine, and larcenous. She lives her life playing on
men's hearts as well as their pockets. She learns the
hard way that all that glitters isn't gold.
Billy, a former high school basketball star, is at
the end of her rope with the opposite sex. To her, all
men are dogs, so she secretly seeks comfort in the arms of
women, until she meets a man who makes her reevaluate her
feelings. Reese is an around-the-way chick,
trying to keep up with the Joneses. There's a
revolving door on her bedroom as she tries to find the
love she always felt was missing. Her promiscuity
leaves her pregnant from a one-night stand and Reese is
faced with the task of breaking an age-old cycle, passed
down from mother to daughter in her family, and standing on
her own. Rhonda is twenty-something with three
kids, by three men, and riding the system all the way to the
bank. To her, work is a dirty word; between the
multiple checks she gets from the government, and the games
she plays with men, she's living the life of a ghetto
superstar. The game soon turns ugly when one of her
"sponsors" snaps and decides to get some
payback. Harlem has never seen
four friends as scandalous as these. The neighborhood
will never be the same again.
