Black Hamptons 2: Gentrification

Things are heating up in the Black Hamptons, an affluent vacation community of African Americans nestled in Long Island, New York. The families are facing trials and tribulations both individually and collectively, and everyone has a lot at stake.

The Brittons are shocked by the return of Moses, the patriarch of the family. While he's eager to reunite with his wife and sons, it may be difficult, especially since his wife, Carolyn, has found comfort in the arms of another man. There's no time to welcome him home, especially with grandson Jesse in the hospital after he is assaulted by Peter Lane.

Anthony Johnson is trying his best to get back into his wife's good graces after nearly losing their company and everything they worked to build. His efforts may cost him more than he bargained for. Little does he know, Sydney has drama of her own to conceal when a secret from her past shows up in the backyard.

Moses' return has Jeffrey Bowen busier than ever, leaving no time for his wife, Leslie. Luckily, Aries Cora has plenty of time to keep her company.

Sgt. Lane's world is turned upside down, and his only goal is to keep his son out of jail. The choice in doing so may be accepting help from the one person he despises: Bobby "the Beast" Boyd, Middleweight Boxing Champion. Bobby is more than willing to come to the rescue, but Sgt. Lane knows it will come with a price he doesn't want to pay.

The entire community must put aside their differences and come together to fight a common enemy that threatens to destroy the land and legacy of the Black Hamptons.
