'Dear Diary - Today, I am going to die...' Keyshawn has kept a diary of her life for the past two years. What she writes inside is a tale of love, passion, money and secrecy - and ultimately a witness to her tragic end. Keyshawn thinks she has found the man of her dreams. He's a rich, powerful and successful music executive - fleets of Bentleys; champagne; diamonds and gold rings - whose homegrown stable of up-and-coming rap superstars are sending him right to the top. Plucked off the street and turned into a queen, Keyshawn begins to keep a diary to record the incredible transformation of her life. In it, she sets down her hopes: her love for this urban king who has made her his consort; her astonishment at the deference with which she is treated on the street. Everybody knows her name; every man wants her and every woman wants to be her. The streets are showing her love and she loves them right back. Until the day when she finds out who her man really is. A major kingpin in the city's drug trade. A gangster. And as she starts to peel away the layers of falsehood that lie between her and the truth, her diary becomes a document recording the last days of her life...
