Doris Family Tree Collection

From the ashes of Grandma Doris's legacy, a new generation fights to survive but the streets don't let go easily. Donnice "Squeak" Carter has spent her entire life watching the people she loves make impossible choices. Now it's her turn.

When she marries Lamont Jackson a former drug dealer desperate to go legitimate Squeak believes love and determination can overcome any past. Together, they build Black Bank Property Management, transforming abandoned Cincinnati buildings into thriving communities. Lamont launches Black Bank Films, telling stories of redemption that mirror his own journey. Their three daughters Ayisha, Markita, and Shakurra are growing up with opportunities Squeak never had.

But the past doesn't stay buried in Cincinnati.

When Marcus Reese, a powerful figure from Lamont's old life, demands a piece of the empire, Lamont faces an impossible choice: partner with criminals or lose everything he's built. His decision sets off a chain of violence that brings federal investigators, dirty cops, and deadly consequences to his family's doorstep.

As bodies drop andDetectives close in, Squeak must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice for a man whose transformation might be a lie. Her law practice is thriving. Her daughters need stability. Her mother Robin—eleven years sober—is finally the grandmother they deserve. But Lamont's choices threaten to destroy it all.

When a federal indictment forces Lamont to choose between fighting and pleading guilty, the family fractures. Four years in prison. Four years of Squeak raising three daughters alone. Four years of wondering if love is enough to survive betrayal.

But the Carter family has survived worse. Uncle Ricky himself a survivor of prison and addiction becomes the father figure the girls need. Robin proves that redemption is real. And Squeak discovers a strength she didn't know she possessed.

Then, just when healing seems possible, Uncle Ricky introduces the family to Tarsina the woman he loves.
