Blood didn’t make Purity, Vanity and Vix family; their trials and tribulations did. Growing up and facing hardships together, the three young cousins were all they had. Purity had the hardest life of them all. After the tragic death of her grandmother, she was forced to live with her birth mom, Tawny, who was very abusive. Purity focused on school and didn’t allow her mom’s taunting to affect her focus. She had goals of being someone special one day. It wasn’t until she crossed paths wth her older cousins, Vix and Vanity did she bloom and realize that life was too short to not live it to the fullest. Her cousins pushed her to be the best that she could be and to accept that she was beautiful, even though she was a big girl. Vix was the proud wife of Big Paul, kingpin of the dark streets of Baton Rouge, Lousiana. Although they have been through hell and back, she continuously stands by her husband's side no matter what. Paul is all she knows and despite the rumors, he feels the same way about her. Vix believes that what her husband doesn’t know wont hurt him, and with Paul stepping out so much in the past, she would have never began to communicate with her ex, Hazel, but what Vix fails to realize is that you can’t be friends with someone you used to love. Vix and Purity are a lot alike, whereas Vanity is living life in the fast lane. She does what she wants with who she wants to do it with. Vanity doesn’t have time to settle down, and she isn’t looking for love. She treats everyone who she meets the same way, not giving anyone too much of her time. But all of that changes when she enters the presence of Juice. He’s different and like a breath of fresh air, and Vanity soaks his energy up. The first time she falls in love, she stumbles. Purity is focused on getting out of the hood, but when she meets Paul’s little brother, Carstin, she has a change of heart. Vix ends up crossing the wrong track when she decides to keep Hazel in her life knowing that him and Paul are arch enemies. Vanity forgets her “me, myself, and I” mentality once Juice warms her cold heart. In “A Baton Rouge Love Story”, these three young women all try their hand at being the right person for the wrong guy and being the wrong person for the right guy? They have experienced so much heartache and pain from the ones closest to them, so much to the point where they’re fed up and asking themselves do you really have to love someone through the pain?
