The series is about family, power struggles, love and faith – all set in the powerful and highly contested Gospel music industry.

Felicia Thabethe, once the queen of gospel, thought she had built an unshakable legacy with her husband Gabriel.

But when shocking secrets surface, everything she has worked for is thrown into chaos.

Now, with Genesis Records at risk, Felicia must fight to protect her family's name before it all crumbles.
