Darius Lovehall is a young black poet in Chicago who starts dating Nina Moseley, a beautiful and talented photographer. While trying to figure out if they've got a "love thing" or are just "kicking it," they hang out with their friend, talking about love and sex. Then Nina tests the strength of Darius' feelings and sets a chain of romantic complications into motion. Written by Jesse Garon <grifter@primenet.com>

Continuity: Mistaken Goof: It is often argued that Darius could not have gotten Nina's address and phone number from the check that she wrote at the music store because she was house sitting. However, when handing over the check Nina states, "my new information is on there." The new information suggests the address where she is house sitting. See more »
