Plot Synopsis

POWER is a one-hour scripted drama series that tells the story of James 'Ghost' St. Patrick, who straddles two different worlds -- the glamorous NYC club scene and the brutal drug trade. Ghost has it all: a beautiful wife, Tasha, who is also his confidant and willing accomplice; a gorgeous Manhattan penthouse; and Truth, which is the hottest, up-and-coming new NYC nightclub. His club caters to the elite -- both the famous and the infamous -- and as its success continues, he plans to build an empire with Tommy Egan, his childhood best friend and business partner. However, Truth hides an ugly lie. The club is a front for Ghost's criminal underworld, a lucrative drug network that serves only the wealthy and powerful. But when Ghost is seduced by the prospect of a legitimate life, everything precious to him becomes unknowingly threatened, especially when Angela Valdes, his old flame, unexpectedly reenters his life.
