After five overseas deployments in the Navy and less than two years before retirement, Kelvin Key is ready to commit and open his heart up to a serious relationship. This is something he never had, but longed for. Out of the blue, Carmen Smith comes along. Her light brown eyes, long black silky hair, and body that would make any man say DAMN made her the perfect piece of eye candy. Not to mention, she was as freaky as they come What else could a man ask for? When their relationship extends over a seven-month deployment and things just don't seem to add-up, Kelvin finds himself caught-up in more than he bargained for. On the other hand; back at home, Carmen is living the fast life and perpetrating to have more going on for herself than she actually does. Trouble is her cunning and persuasive ways are bound to catch up with her, but at what cost. When Kelvin makes a shocking discovery, it confirms she is not trustworthy and does not value being in a committed relationship. He is then reminded of the words spoken by his mother, "son don't take any wooden nickels."
