Annotation: Sometimes the past is apt to repeat itself, but history is not always destiny.
The
streets of Harlem are not paved with gold, yet with Desire- desire to
be loved, safe, and famous. Growing up as a kid in the system is not
desirable, but Hattie Mae, a caring foster mother, makes the struggle a
bit easier for Desire- a young girl whose mother is a prostitute and
addicted to crack. As Desire grows into a young woman, a famous
recording label recognizes her talent as a singer, and she instantly
becomes a rising star. However, how high can a star climb before the
brutal streets of Harlem desire to reclaim its bright light?
