Description: In the beginning, there was a drug dealer named Smoke, and Breanne Phillips was one of his most faithful customers. It was a mutually satisfying arrangement, one he forgot about as soon as he got out of the game and started answering to the name Alec. Sixteen years later, Breanne has reinvented herself and is now a successful businesswoman calling herself Anne. And she's dragging around a 16-year-old hoodlum she claims is Alec's son, demanding that Alec straighten the boy out.
