Dysfunction reigns supreme as the Baptiste clan, a New Orleans family of wealthy Creoles of color, attempt to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. Sean, elder brother to Armand, continues to cloak deep, dark secrets from the past to protect his younger brother, but everyone has a limit. Armand begins to slowly take notice of his mother Lisette's detestable character, but has no idea of what a truly dangerous woman she is. Simone, Armand's beautiful daughter, pursues a high-profile career in corporate America, while her stepsister, Claire, takes Hollywood by storm. Afraid of what the future might hold for Simone, Armand gently nudges her to think about a relationship with her high school sweetheart and NBA star Shannon Rivers, but haunted by ghosts from a past buried in the deep recesses of her mind, Simone finds it hard to function normally in any relationship.
