After her man is taken hostage in a botched drugs heist his needy gangland girlfriend must unravel the truth behind what went down if either of them are to make it out alive.

Thanks - he's not the main character, this is all her P.O.V.
I'll have another attempt...I really appreciate the feedback!

*main

A huge step in the right direction. In order to avoid the whole him and her problem maybe you could write the man's name in there, especially if he is the man character.
