T.A.S.M

Sheena Marx is a young, educated, girl who, against her very strict Grandmother’s rules, dated a young man that was deep in the business. Unbeknownst to Sheena, he left her a debt of $15,000 when he was arrested. Now she is forced to come up with a plan that would involve her friends. Marshane, an acquaintance she knew for six months, suggested a robbery would be a perfect way to repay the monies owed. The Hawkins sisters, Aria and Tinae went along for the ride proving their friendship to Marshane. With only five days to pay and no clue on where this robbery would take place, trials in the four main characters lives create a stronger bond amongst their friendship. 

Within this story, there are several events that take you through the streets of 

New York City as well as behind the walls of Rikers Island where Sheena’s

boyfriend struggles for answers to why he was wrongfully accused.

The streets of New York City in this story isn't a backdrop - they are an accomplice,

a witness, sometimes a judge, and the split‑second choices that separate freedom

from a state number.
