Following the intense marriage between Faith Evans and the Notorious B.I.G., two of the biggest stars in R&B and hip hop, this is the story about young love and the pressures and consequences of fame for the couple and the culture at large. Twenty years after the iconic rapper's murder, Faith Evans is ready to confront her pain and revisit the most intimate moments of their relationship... from their whirlwind engagement, to the East coast/West coast rivalry that led to Tupac and Big's deaths, and the roles other in the scene, like Lil' Kim, may have played in their tumultuous love story.
