Plot Synopsis

In this spinoff of TYLER PERRY'S SISTAS, Zac and Fatima take a huge step to strengthen their bond, but their past actions interfere with their blossoming relationship, along with these new friends:

Nathan is one of Zac's friends he often plays basketball with and a conflicted soul. Nathan is married to Lori who, keeps him in check at every turn and holds him accountable for his responsibilities.

Bryce is a relatively new friend of Zac's who works with Gary and is helping Zac with his stock investments. He has stepped in and become a confidant and somewhat of a rescuer to Zac. Bryce is also dating Angela, who happens to be Fatima's best friend.

Angela is Fatima's best female friend who is dating Bryce. Angela has no idea that Bryce's friend Zac is the man who is moving in with Fatima -- and instantly realizes that she's heard all about the shady corners of Zac's life from Bryce.

Deja is Devale's tenant, who is a nail technician by day and stripper by night.

Tony is one of Zac's friends who despises love and relationships. Tony comes down hard on Zac for moving in with Fatima and tries to convince Zac that because he has recently escaped dire financial straits, he should enjoy the freedom of having money and the single life.

Belinda is Fatima's "tell like it is" friend who adds a whole new layer of challenges to Zac and Fatima's relationship.
