Yara Samuels has experienced her fair share of hurt in life. Growing up in a home ridden with domestic violence, Yara was taught at a young age that if it isn't painful, then it isn't love. It takes watching her mother be beaten to death by her stepfather for young Yara to learn that love taps shouldn't send you to the grave. All grown up, she searches for a man who knows how to love a woman with his heart and not his fists.

Ricky AK has never been one to shout threats and not pull through. The heartless gangsta has also never been one to take being threatened lightly.

However, there is a big block in her road to bliss, and Draylah is beyond ready to take it out.

At the end of part two, some beyond devastating news was revealed to Draylah, and less than 24 hours of Ricky being tossed in jail. In part three, the couple attempts to find their happy place and navigate through their ever so complicated lives, despite the many roadblocks thrown their way. Will the love Draylah and Ricky AK have for one another survive the many things trying to tear them down? Or will they both realize that maybe they're both too problematic to have a future together?
