What if You Could Take it All Back?
Jessica Jones never thought living her teenage dream would lead to a living nightmare. When she and her three best friends venture out on prom night, theyβre drunk on young love and excited for their college plans. But a tragic incident turns a night of high school achievement into a crime scene, and Jessica and her girls are left with bloody hands and a shattered future.
After spending years paying off a debt that wasnβt theirs, Jessica and her friends return to Harlem to find it very different from when they left. Crack is now king, and its destruction has left their families in ruin and their neighborhoods consumed by its peddlers.
Jessica takes a stand, and her friends are there to back her up when demons from the past come beating down their doors. Jessica and the girls must pass the ultimate test in order to preserve their lives, their families, and their Harlem.
