Power Book II: Ghost season 4 plot - What will happen?
It's "Tariq St Patrick and Brayden Weston against the world" following the dramatic season 3 finale.
"With new alliances formed in each faction, Tariq and Brayden must find a way back into the game – and a way to insulate themselves from ever being put in the same situation again," reads the official synopsis.
"But when Brayden starts flirting with a new, reckless lifestyle, Tariq wonders if there really is room for two at the top."
As for Monet, she has "finally met her maker, but has no idea who's behind it", while Davis, who is "suspended and pending disbarment in the wake of his brother’s death, fully embraces the criminal side of his enterprise and finds himself working for both sides – his loyalty dependent on whichever will benefit him most".
The logline adds: "Faced with the reality that life can end in just a few ways, Effie buckles down on getting out and securing a legit future at Stanford."
Diana and Dru are also "questioning their roles in the game and the family business" after the betrayal they were dealt in season 3, while "Cane sees an opportunity to level up when he starts working for Noma".
"As Noma fights to establish her business in the States, she also tries to keep a close eye on her bratty daughter, Anya, who is now on Tariq and Brayden's radar.
"With the fate of his future in the game and his family at the forefront, Tariq must reconcile his past to rise to the top of the food chain and become who he needs to be to protect those he loves most."
