Janice and La'Shonda are both intimately involved with the infamous police officer Dennis Carter. And he's hiding a secret from the both of them. La'Shonda has her own agenda though—she wants to be a main player in Kansas City's political machine in order to get her nephew Bari less prison time; Dennis Carter is just a pawn in her grand scheme. But with Dennis being appointed as the new Chief of Police, he now might hold enough power to keep his secrets secret—and use Janice and La'Shonda in every way he pleases.

Janice is dead. La'Shonda has been corrupted and Heather Mills is in retirement with her niece Stacy. Yet Enjoy is still in power and still in Kansas City—so is Keisha Davis, a protégé of Janice Thompson (and girlfriend/baby momma of a Chicago gang lord). Will a social media beef send Kansas City into an underworld war with Chicago? Or will Joy's federal indictment save the city from collapse?
