But things spiral out of control once her boyfriend, Tom, puts up a billboard of her legs to advertise their real estate business.Furious with Tom's decision to exploit her body, Trina flees to Sonoma County where her best friend, Val, lives. She plunges into her new life with a fierce determination to succeed by opening her own real estate brokerage and starting to date. Things don't work out exactly as planned. Trina's living in a luxury apartment she can't afford with bills she can't pay. And the one nice man she's met has driven away before she could get his number. On the brink of bankruptcy, Trina finds a job working for Ms. Lashay at Smart Loans during the beginning of the mortgage crisis.
