When the hood is all you know, can you pull yourself out and find a better future, or are you stuck? Lisa wants out of the neighborhood and away from the men who offer short-term pleasure and long-term pain. Shawn accepts the hood and plays its games, hustling the hustlers and playing the players. Kelly and Candace want out, but they can't let go of the "thug love" that their men offer. With four different perspectives from four extraordinary women, Thugs and the Women Who Love 'Em asks whether they're strong, independent black women who can write their own story, or are they destined to be extras in someone else's script? Find out what their futures hold
