'synopsis' may belong to another edition of this title. Symone Holmes returns in this emotional tale of sacrifice and family tragedy that dramatically changes the course of the 'second season' of her life. Symone never expected life as an adult to be easy but if hardships like these were what she had to look forward to, the road to tranquility will be a turbulent-filled ride. The future with her life partner, Regina, currently shines bright but a new job, new city and past mates could put the relationship in jeopardy. However, if she does pursue her career first, she may resent the one thing she loves - basketball - and lose the only chance she has to reconcile with her family. Not to mention she will be forced to face the judgment from her family about her homosexual lifestyle. If she forgoes her rookie year as a professional basketball player, there is a chance she will not get a second opportunity to live out her dream.

The decision will not be an easy one and regardless of which path she takes there are serious downsides in the midst. When an unexpected family tragedy occurs, Symone faces a major decision: put her plans of stardom on hold and confront obstacles that have kept her fenced out of her mother's life or continue on a path to basketball greatness and remain the black sheep of the family. However, her mother's continued disapproval of her sexuality still casts a dark shadow over Symone's spirit. As the WNBA's top prospect coming out of college and with the love of her life by her side, Symone is ready to start living her dreams without delay. At 21 years old, Symone Holmes has finally transitioned into the second phase of her life, adulthood.
