Everything seems to go according to plan until Maxine discovers that Seth has a major distraction in his life Samantha Mitchell. Samantha, Seth's codefendant and 'ride or die' chick, has just come home from serving jail time in a women's federal camp.
As both women compete for Seth's love and affection a sticky situation unfolds. Is Maxine cunning enough to outsmart Samantha and take her man for good? Or will Samantha's street-savviness outwit the educated Maxine?
