De'Shane started off as a lanky and intelligent kid in the slums of Richmond, Virginia. With the help of his three friends- Rich, Mandy and Cherie- he didn't need to resort to drastic measures like some kids his age. However, a twist in fate had a lot to deal with the man he grew to become. After being legally adopted to become the only son of a kingpin named Apollo, Shane had to let go of almost everything he knew. He was reconstructed to be just as ruthless and as coldhearted as his father. Although succeeding and being renamed by foot-soldiers alike as "Shane tha God," his heart wasn't as icy as he put on, because the enchantress Cherie stayed on his mind through the torture, the abuse, and the process to rebuild him. What he giveth, he could take away, but he would never take anything away from Cherie. He would only give. Cherie, before Shane's adoption, was forced to move clear across the country and to leave her friends behind. Though separated, she never forgot about Shane or the love he had for her. Just like Shane, Cherie has changed in many ways. She's just more tight-lipped about it. Cherie breaks free of an abusive engagement and heads back to Virginia, disobeying her fiance to never return there, but what she stumbles upon when getting there is no fairytale. Her Shane is no longer the lanky little fellow who will trip over his own feet to please her. Neither is he the little boy who will grab the moon and stars for her, to give them to her. She finds him as a wealthy, blood-thirsty, full grown man with a closet full of skeletons, ready to fall out at the slightest touch of the doorknob. Can she tame this beast and find the friend in him that she had long ago? Was her trip back to the past well worth losing her fiance? Is it possibly to rekindle what they once had? Or is it all one foolish childhood fantasy that should be and could be left behind? Hopefully their own secrets and the events that they've gone through without one another doesn't tear them apart.
