As Tariq St. Patrick begins his new life at Stansfield University, he's torn between two worlds.
Haunted by the legacy of his father, Tariq tries to understand who James St. Patrick was to the people in his life, how it's shaped Tariq's own life, and how the memories of his father define the man Tariq wants to become.
Tariq struggles with the weight of providing for his mother's mounting legal defence while juggling the rigours of Ivy League life.
After Monet's agreed to do business with him, Tariq initiates his play to control the drug market on campus, while insulating his and Monet's involvement.
It's Tariq's 18th birthday, but there's no cause for celebration, or time. Saxe brings him news that could blow up Tasha's case. Tariq is concerned that Brayden's budding relationship could put their business in danger.
Tariq's hands are tied, fearing that fully letting Brayden in on their arrangement with the Tejadas has put him on a violent collision course with Cane, who demonstrates the price paid for using his name.
