  • Brian White is 'Evan Lancaster,' the Mayor of Atlanta, who is married to attorney Stephanie Carlisle. Evan's dream is to be the first African-American governor of Georgia and there's no line he won't cross to get there.

  • Kendrick Cross stars as 'Titus Hughes,' a passionate attorney and dedicated husband to Amara (Essence Atkins). Titus has accepted the challenge of being in-house counsel for a big pharma company run by Hunter Purifoy (Brian Bosworth) to fight a class action suit brought by the powerful Carlisle family.
