Twenty-eight-year-old Sebastian Long has been called the best actor of his generation. Discovered while performing cheap fight pictures in Morocco, Sebastian wins an Oscar for his breakthrough role in the film Checkmate. His performance is raw, surprising, and powerful-a calculated dance with sexual taboo.

But his performance isn't the only contributing factor to the Oscar win. Paramount Pictures helps Sebastian get the Oscar by positioning him in the media as the first gay contender. Sebastian's handlers work the "gay is hot" factor, making Sebastian the new gay "it" boy. The only problem is that Sebastian is married and is the father of two young children; his wife, Claire, and family are hidden from the media.

Sebastian excels at pretending to be gay off-camera. But gay protest groups discover he is straight, violent, and self-serving. Every film studio wants Sebastian to play a gay role in their next picture. But all of that changes when Sebastian arrives with his wife at the Oscar ceremony and kisses her on international television, triggering Paramount to initiate legal proceedings for breach of contract. These proceedings have a decided impact on Sebastian's future career.

Two best friends plus two best friends equal a new formed sisterhood. Best friends Lisa and Tanya decide to travel to the Island of Barbados for vacation. Once Lisa's friend Keisha becomes aware of their plans, she informs Lisa that she desires to join them. She also wishes to invite her best friend Rachel to come along. Three of the ladies have previously visited the island, but for the fourth lady, it will be an entirely new experience. Come join them on their trip as they let their hair down, explore areas that they would have avoided in the U.S. and just wild out. It's time to shut the island down. The four of them travel to partake in fun and games when one of the games develops into an unexpected situation for one of them. This situation is definitely not what she went searching for, but she will be returning to the island alone to continue it. Her new formed sisterhood believes it's unsafe due to her receiving disturbing calls and texts on a daily basis from a seemingly deranged person on that island. Is the situation that she discovered worth ignoring the minuscule amount of fear that she has developed deep inside? When you're in love with the idea of being in love, it will cause you to behave unusual. Is this game guaranteed to evolve into a lifetime adventure or does she have, UNREASONABLE EXPECTATIONS? For now, let's just pray that she returns back to the U.S. safely.

Sometimes life comes back at you twice as hard and twice as fast as you live it. This is the lesson four young men with successful careers learn as they navigate through life in the South.

Lesane is a high school counselor who runs a small studio for local music talent. He once thought he could swear off love, but he learns the hard way he is sorely mistaken.

Scooter is an athletic coach whose little black book is as deep as a phone directory. He runs through women like he puts his students through practice drills.

Will is a basketball star in New Orleans. Everyone said he was too small, but no one could deny his skills. He and Janet - who proclaim themselves "just friends" - have a little boy. You can count on Will to be super dad during the off-season.

Ray is a DJ for a local radio station. Despite being surrounded by women, he finds it hard to stay connected. He's either trying too hard or just doesn't have game.

Join these four friends as they navigate life's ups and downs, wins and losses. Each encounter teaches them something about themselves, life, and love along the way.

Izrael Washington is a former street hustler evolved into a successful business man as the owner of the hottest night spot - Club IZ. His love-life is flipped upside down after the unlikely encounter with a strikingly beautiful woman. Not prepared for the derailment, Izrael dives head first into a romantic relationship with the woman while battling a contender - the defense mechanism he built against women. He vowed to never again allow one to infiltrate his emotions. The chain lock is opened on his heart after he unburies the key by easily taking the chance in love again. Woman after woman he exhausted for his sexual pleasure only, but now Izrael suddenly finds himself madly in love. Will that love find and keep him? Or will it be his demise? The war of love accompanied with the battles, Deception, Secrets and Loss all force Izrael to expose the "heart of a man."

William Andrews thought he had the world at his feet. A perfect physical specimen born to a family accustomed to great wealth and even greater privilege, and with a fresh degree from Harvard on his wall, he thought that he alone was master of his future. And he is-until he finds himself pulled into a world so unknown, so shadowy, so alien that even he can barely comprehend what "reality" really means now.

Because of his special psychic talents, William finds himself inexorably pulled into the greatest power game the world has ever known. It is not the future that William Andrews had envisioned for himself. "It is the future that others had planned for him."

William joins an organization that rules the world from the shadows. Soon, his circle will include aliens from other worlds and their technology. His dark new world is riddled with dangerous sensual adventures that would shock his patrician family, and William finds himself just as powerless to escape the lurid pull of this new shadow society. He becomes the owner of two human slaves, whose devotion is seductive. His moral compass spins out of control when he is given the opportunity to operate a deadly pleasure resort. He then finds himself at the front lines of a major battle with an alien space armada, a war that neither side can hope to win.

William's life-the one he didn't choose-tests every moral and sexual value that he has ever been taught, and the New Order he lives in causes him to question almost every decision that he has ever made-or will make.
