The Real Brooklyn Darkchild

Which is worse: to love your mother fiercely only to lose her or to never have had a mother at all? Obie and Princess never debated this issue. They were equally motherless; it's what forever binds them.
Obie is a former street child and junkie's son; Princess was raised on luxurious Park Avenue. When she's three, Obie is Princess' babysitter; in her teens he's her best friend and confidant. At eighteen Princess dreams of becoming an R&B diva and Obie, who's "Rags-to-Riches" transformation into a music video superstar/director captured America's attention knows just how to make that dream come true. 
Along the path to stardom Obie and Princess inevitably fall head-over-heels in love yet Princess will never be satisfied being one of Obie's groupies.
Their social class differences, skin color complexes, a stalking ex-boyfriend and a bout with depression all strain the budding relationship, but when Obie's abandon-ment issues crash head first into Princess's need for emotional distance the fireworks really begin. Then the question becomes:
Can a motherless child ever truly open his or her heart enough to love someone else?
