After being approached by corrupt detective Greg Anderson, Kendrick Knighton's (31) world begins to crumble. After experiencing one of the most traumatic events of his life in Sacramento, he heads back to Memphis a broken man who is now hellbent on taking back everything he lost. His first step is to take back control over his empire, but with his soldiers under the watchful eye of another, that may just prove to be more challenging than he'd anticipated. As he navigates this New Age in Memphis, one in which he holds no power and the name Knighton no longer holds any weight, he must resort to drastic measures to make the city of Memphis remember who he is. But how far will he go to get back on top and will he go too far?
Now on a full ride scholarship at the University of Georgia, Kareem Knighton (19) is still one of the best running backs in the country. He gains the attention of many pro-football teams and word on the street was that he'd be an NFL baller within the next few years. With his new found fame comes money hungry leeches, who are more than ready to sink their teeth into the young prodigy. Never one to let external forces cloud his judgement, Kareem does his best to stay focused. But with more fame and money than he'd ever imagined, came women— lots and lots of them. After a rendezvous goes awry, Kareem finds himself caught up in a whirlwind of scandal— one of lies, deceit and the ultimate betrayal by someone he'd come to love. Can he handle the life of being a celebrity and the pitfalls that come with it, or will his career be over before it even starts?
From Memphis all the way to the Bay Area, the name Black rung bells and struck fear in the hearts of all who heard it. Harlem Mercy (27) was finally on top and he lorded over Memphis with no intention of giving up the throne. Power and greed oozed from his pores and his very soul was on fire. He needed more. He'd spilled blood from man, woman and child alike to get here and he'd do it again to take over another city as well. His thirst for total domination and complete control was insatiable. To go against him was an automatic death sentence and his own workers even feared for their lives. He was relentless and no one could stop him. Unbeknownst to him, many people were plotting on his demise— plotting on how to take him out of the game. With his mind solely occupied on money and murder, will he ever catch on.. or will it be too late? Will he ever turn away from his wicked ways?... or will his hunger for unlimited power consume him?

She gets help from an unlikely source, but she must be careful not to get in over her head— it could prove deadly for all parties involved.
Joseline is back and as ghetto fabulous as always. Now the main attraction at what was K.K.'s playhouse, she attracts many ballers and street hustlers. However, her mind is on one person and one person only. Will she ever shake back or will the right smooth talking thug come in and sweep her off her feet?
Colette returned just as her former lover was crowning himself King of Memphis— a title he'd earned by brutally murdering her drug lord uncle, J-Rock. With her desire to take him out growing each and every day, will she be able to stick to the script or will she go void of course, tipping the scales in her opponents favor?
