Confession of a Side Chick takes place in the inner city where Cassandra Cane, a hard-working mother of one, who is also a paycheck from being broke, struggles as a single parent.

In addition to circumstances which create a very unhealthy lifestyle for both her and her daughter, she is also holding on to a secret that only they know. Cassandra’s life takes a turn as a sudden tragic event changes the complexity of her deplorable situation, and a caring overlooked soul becomes the main attraction. The question is does Cassandra continue living as the side chick or does the secret she has kept for a man who doesn’t really love her, come full circle and change the overall dynamic of the scenario.
