As Tariq St. Patrick begins his new life at Stansfield University, he's torn between two worlds.

Tariq struggles with the weight of providing for his mother's mounting legal defence while juggling the rigours 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.

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.
