What is Power Book II: Ghost season 3 about?
The official synopsis for the third season of Power Book II: Ghost says that it "kicks off with Tariq St Patrick determined to get his trust, get back to his family, and get out of the game for good".
The synopsis continues: "The emergence of a ruthless new connect interrupts Tariq’s plans to reunite with Tasha and Yaz and puts him, Brayden, and Effie back into business with the Tejadas as they’re challenged to move more weight than ever before.
"When Brayden brings Tariq in as an intern at his family’s hedge fund Weston Holdings, the drug business expands beyond Stansfield and the streets onto Wall Street, while Tariq is also shown an alternate, legitimate path to success.
"Monet Tejada, set ablaze by the death of her son Zeke Cross, is willing to pay a hefty price to avenge her firstborn and keep the rest of her children - and the business - in line as she works closely with Davis MacLean to solve Zeke’s murder and keep the feds off her trail.
"Business is booming when a staggering reveal forces Tariq to reckon with a betrayal from those closest to him... and a RICO investigation mounting into the entire drug enterprise, pulling Tariq deeper into the business and even closer to the legacy of his father."
