Henry and his wife Dana have made every sacrifice imaginable to build their empire and give their family the best that life has to offer. Their union produced five beautiful children; four girls and a boy. The children grew up privileged among Cleveland’s elite and the Cooper Legacy is tattooed on the city’s streets. The picture they paint is pretty but even the biggest mansions have closets. And they’re usually filled with skeletons.
The biggest sacrifice Henry made was the first family that he created. He left his girlfriend, Barbara Bradley, and their two daughters to start over with the younger, prettier Dana. He has never publicly acknowledged his children but he was sure to send money once a year.
Barbie and Redd Bradley have known who their father was for years despite their mother’s desperate attempt to keep it from them. They lived a life that was totally opposite of that of their father, but they’ve always dreamed of having the good life. A meeting between Barbie and Dana gives them the opportunity to do just that but will the rest of the family accept them and play ball?
The Cooper sisters are rocked to the core when their mother, Dana, announces that she will be going to federal prison. Genie, the eldest who is known as the evil one, plans to strike her mother while she is weak. Her undying quest for power leads her down a path that threatens to tear the family apart. Honey is Genie’s favorite but she can’t talk her sister off the ledge. She puts her quiet nature to the side and secretly declares war on Genie. This move causes a slow burning implosion among all of her sisters.
As the only boy, Henn, was always treated special. The prince of the Coopers has never wanted for anything. His last name has blessed him with easy money, women, and hood fame but, quite frankly, he’s bored to death. All of that changes when he meets Vanna, a free spirit that matches his soul perfectly. She fills the empty void he feels with a love and excitement that makes him a new man. He learns a secret about his sweetheart that devastates him and he is forced to contemplate if being with Vanna is worth losing all he’s ever known.
