As a successful entrepreneur, Keng Prince believes he has it all. Not only does he run one of the most popular clothing stores in the city, but he has the money and Synque, the baddest chick in the city, to go along with it. Life is everything he can imagine until his world comes crashing down at the hands of the woman he loves and one of the last people in the world he thought would ever betray him. But the secrets don't stop at her one act of diabolical betrayal. As Keng finds himself paying for his own reactions to his heartbreak, even more secrets await him around every corner, and he struggles to hold on to the last bit of sanity he has left.
When Keng crosses paths with Janae Castle, a struggling real estate agent, the two form a bond that they believe is unbreakable. Janae is just what the doctor ordered in his life, and with her by his side, he's moving up and moving on to bigger and better things. Keng is the happiest he's been in years, but he is soon reminded that you can't put Band-Aids over stab wounds, and when his still-healing scars are ripped back open by an old flame that was never fully extinguished, Keng realizes his own pain has the potential to consume her in its endless inferno as well. Deep, dark deception is uncovered, and Janae must figure out which flames are worth stoking and which ones are best hosed down and left to fizzle out. As she considers what's best for her, Janae is forced to decide whether to walk away from the life she worked so hard to build or whether she's willing to accept Scars from a Savage.
