Pretty Ugly: A Harlem Situation

Pretty Ugly: A Harlem Situation Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

New York City has some of the strictest gun laws in the country, which means there is also a large market for illicit trafficking. When Chuck Love, a native New Yorker attending college in the Bluegrass State, learns how easy it is to transport guns illegally up the highway, he immediately sees a way to earn some cash. Then all of a sudden, there is Apple - an all-around city girl with the sun in her smile, Harlem in her hips and a mean streak lurking under all that allure. Chuck and Apple were high school sweethearts who lost contact over the years, and then one summer day, Chuck gets the surprise of his life. From afar, he spots Apple walking by - and just as he rushes to rekindle old memories with her, he runs into Zachary, the underworld figure who is willing to fund his dreams of starting his own business. All is going according to their plan. but when the two new partners start tripling their profits, watch greed set in. See how one man allows quick money to go to his head, forgetting that the people you meet going up are the same people you meet coming down. See how life in the streets can sometimes get pretty ugly...

It's the story of two guys, two girls and the simple way life in Harlem can get Pretty Ugly
