Chronic drug addiction ain't just exclusive to the hood. There are
plenty of dope fiends in the suburbs too. Just ask the mayor of Atlanta,
the Honorable Josiah J. Bishop. His addiction to his wife, Mink, is just
as powerful as her toxic love affair with heroin. As her life spirals
out of control due to her obsession with the needle, his love and
devotion to her is turning his world upside down. But he just can't let
her go. The brotha's loyalty to his drug-addicted wife and the mother of
his two daughters is deeper than any ocean. No matter how far Mink drags
Josiah down into the gutter of drugs, booze, and dangers on the streets
of the A, he's determined to love, cherish, and honor her until death.
But whose death?
Through constant infidelity, continuous disappearing acts, run-ins with
the law, and countless unsuccessful rehab stints, Josiah still stands by
his woman. The only thing Mink is faithful to is her next fix. She's a
slave to smack because it allows her to escape the secret demons of her
past that haunt her daily. Unfortunately, not even the love of a damn
good man can set her free from emotional bondage.
So, as Election Day quickly approaches, Josiah's bid to serve a second
term in City Hall is jeopardized when Mink commits her most insane act.
The scandal seems impossible for Atlanta's top dog to overcome. The
media is going wild to cover the tragic murder of one of Mink's
associates, a wealthy and prominent Hollywood filmmaker she hooked up
with after leaving yet another treatment facility. She's on the run from
justice, ignoring Josiah's public plea to turn herself in. Mink realizes
she's at the end of her rope, and Josiah isn't sure if he has any more
forgiveness in his heart for her. He has a critical decision to make.
Will he stay in the clutches of addiction to the drug called Mink, or
will he finally kick the habit once and for all?
