The Bridge

As Tariq St. Patrick begins his new life at Stansfield University, he's torn between two worlds: doing as his mother said, living his life as a normal college kid; or doing what she taught him, hustling product.

Haunted by the legacy of his father, Tariq tries to understand who James St. Patrick was to the people in his life, how it's shaped Tariq's own life, and how the memories of his father define the man Tariq wants to become.

Tariq struggles with the weight of providing for his mother's mounting legal defense while juggling the rigors of Ivy League life.

After Monet's agreed to do business with him, Tariq initiates his play to control the drug market on campus, while insulating his and Monet's involvement.

It's Tariq's 18th birthday, but there's no cause for celebration, or time. Saxe brings him news that could blow up Tasha's case. Tariq is concerned that Brayden's budding relationship could put their business in danger.

Tariq's hands are tied, fearing that fully letting Brayden in on their arrangement with the Tejadas has put him on a violent collision course with Cane, who demonstrates the price paid for using his name.

As the heat is turned up on campus, Tariq isn't trying to be left in the cold with Lauren. Or is it Diana he's in to?

Tariq can't help but feel left out, as parents flood the campus for Homecoming at Stansfield.

After the head-on collision of Tariq's worlds at Homecoming, the campus is hot, causing problems as he tries to settle up on debts.

Tariq will do whatever it takes to clear his mother. But knowing he's not in the clear with Monet, Tariq's backed against the wall trying to keep his promise to get Tasha out of prison.
