Synopsis

Fighting with Fate chronicles the journey of three African American women, Tina, Amarie, and Keisha as they attempt to find themselves and bring them the happiness and comfort have been longing for. In the down and dirty south of ATL, these three best friends are all on a conquest to get what they want by any means necessary. Tina Jenkins is the sweet, down-to-earth, take home to meet your mother type of woman. Locking down Marquis Wade whom she’s been involved with for ten years, is the one thing she can’t accomplish. Afraid of giving him an ultimatum fearing that he’ll choose the door leaves her stuck. That is until the final string is drawn and has her running into the arms of an old flame Antonio Smith who is more than willing to give her the world. To her community, Amarie Johnson is nothing but a goody-two-shoe, church going, God praising saint. On the contrary, for the first time in her adult life, she’s struggling in ways she never thought would happen. Finally letting down her requirements of only dating Christian men, her old flame Winston comes whisking back into her life. Inconveniently, her Pastor declares his strong likeness towards her. Giving both men a chance to prove who will satisfy her spiritually, mentally, and emotionally, making her undeniably happy – she comes to find, it may have been the worst decision of her life and may have cost her just that. If there’s one thing Keisha Greene can’t stand, it would be the male species. She doesn’t believe a word that slips out of their lying mouths, and refuses to one of their kind get one-step further than she is. After being brutally raped, scarred, and impregnated years ago, she vowed to never be caught slipping. Older and wiser, she’s learned to suppress her boiled up resentment and anger towards her rapist by growing a hate for all men. Sleeping with a new man or two every night helps the pain but can’t get rid of the damage that’s already been done – until Dante Williams slips under her defense mechanism and changes the game all together. Will she give him a chance and let him lay her demons to rest? Or will she continue down this dangerous path? Fate is inevitable, but these three seem to think they can change the game and fight against their true destiny despite all the odds. Will they allow the inevitable fate to take them to places that they have never been before? Or run away from something they’ve been waiting for all this time.
