A Virtuous Theory

Virtuous All is a gifted artist. She has a talent for creating beauty out of pain, except with her own life. After breaking her silence and revealing the atrocities she’s suffered, she allows Theory Campbell into her life. It is something new and exciting. A fresh beginning from where she started. No longer will she accept abuse and betrayal as normalcy. Virtuous yearns for something more, something better. With Theory, she discovers how to navigate through the darkness and into the light, but the journey is never easy.

Life is not perfect, but it is close. Theory has a girlfriend who treasures and encourages him daily. Though Virtuous has her own struggles, she is always there for him. Some call it young love, but it is the best love he has ever known. Once they remove the thorn from Virtuous’ side, their life together will be complete.

However, plans never go as expected. When Theory’s past resurfaces, he feels caged and unpredictable. And when his new serenity is threatened, well…

Staci and Nocturnal have come to an impasse in their relationship. The secret that Staci has hidden for years haunts her daily, and the clock is ticking as she is forced to reveal the truth.

The Theory Of All

Virtuous All has fought and overcome a hard battle that would defeat most, but it is not over. She is trapped between faith and fear. If she chooses love and Theory, then she puts him and his family at risk. If she chooses fear and Greg, then she puts herself at risk. Who should be sacrificed?

Will she choose faith and believe that God will give her hope and a future, or will she allow fear to overcome her spirit?

Theory Campbell’s world almost ended when he found out he had a son that he never knew existed. As he works to deal with the deception of his ex-girlfriend, his father reappears. It seems like things are getting worse, not better.

Theory loves Virtuous who is everything he prayed for and more, but he hates the thorn that has embedded itself in her. Her father Greg is a problem. He is a problem Theory has had enough of. He knows what to do to solve it, but that would require Vicious, the old him, to resurface. He vowed to never be that person again. Theory wants to better himself for the woman that he loves, for his family. He must.

Can he? After all the pain, lies and betrayal can he forgive those who trespassed against him, or will he seek vengeance?

Staci and Nocturnal are at a crossroads. They have both done dirt, and their children have suffered for it. Their love was toxic but functional until her lie was revealed.

One lie set off a chain of events that no one could have predicted. Lives will be altered as truths are revealed, some for the better, others for the worse.

Join the crew in this epic finale as they battle between faith, fear, love, and loss.
