“The Lovers Lyfe” is based on a true story that shows no matter how long or how far apart if its meant to be, it will be. “The Lovers Lyfe” is set in Pittsburgh in the early 90s with Nina, a young, ambitious single mother from Pittsburgh, who lost her mother tragically to cancer while she was pregnant with her daughter. Her love for her daughter was so great that she turned tragedy into focus by doing what she had to do to provide for herself and her daughter. She obtained a fake ID so she could work in one of Pittsburgh’s hottest nightclubs, Forbes Studio, as a high paying bartender. With the help of friends and loved ones, she was able to hustle and make a decent living for herself and her daughter when she was just 19 years old. Chris, originally from New York, was a top student at his university in Pittsburgh and he brought his New York spirit of survival with him by opening up one of the only hot dog stands in the area as a way to take care of himself and pay for college. The two cross paths early on with a chance meeting at Forbes Studios, but time and circumstances kept them apart for a couple of decades. Who would have thought a simple Facebook message would rekindle a lost love in such an unforgettable way. Here’s the story of “The Lovers Lyfe”…
