Treasure Lee has moved out of 'juvenile' into the state penitentiary. Now she needs to learn how the system works, search out where the power lies, and find herself a new lover. Treasure soon meets up with Brownie, a jail-toughened lifer dealing drugs and contraband. Brownie works with an extended family of loyal girls, ready to kill or be killed for their 'mother.' Treasure wants in with a friend like Brownie, no one can touch her. And there's something about Brownie that draws her closer. It's not about sex, and not about drugs. But the closer she gets the more enemies she makes. Treasure's learning that once you're inside, everything you want has a price.
