High powered couple Charles and Lindsey Hawkins have made it to the top. The two own and operate the city's most lucrative software company, HIGH Software Inc. It was Lindsey's Ivy League Education and Charles' unprecedented street credibility that helped Hawkins International Graphics and High-performance Software Incorporated reach a level of success that make them among the wealthiest people in the country. Charles is forever grateful to his wife Lindsey for her contributions to his company, but he believes that it was his money from the streets that made it all possible. He resents the fact that Lindsey turns her nose up at his past. Without him, she would just be another black woman with a lot of letters behind her name. Charles' ego has blinded him to the gem that stands before him. He has forgotten that one man's trash is another man's treasure.
