"They're ride or die so what's 17 years apart?" • When you meet the love of your life at 15 growing up in the streets of West Philly you don't always do right by your family. Selling dope, moving bodies , selling keys is the only way to stay alive. At least that's what everyone thought. But what if there was another way? Music,perhaps? Dwight and Loretha, only 14 and 15 had the two most important things in life. Love and family. But they wanted something else. Money and power. Changing their names to Lucious and Cookie Lyon, they go out of their way to reach their goal of a better life. Even sacrificing the two most important things in life love and family.. • 17 Years Later Lucious Lyon hip hop mogul and billionaire now has everything he wants at his finger tips but there's only one thing out of reach. His Queen. So when Cookie Lyon struts into his office a mere two decades later, demanding her half in his company back, he puts up a fight but gives it to her . But that's not the only thing she wants. Having three sons and burying all of his skeletons, not only to have served a 17 year prison sentence for him she wants her family back too and no one not even Boo Boo Kitty is going to get in the way of that.
