The story is about a young man, Aren (Creator/JusticeSmith), who is recruited by a man named Roger (Creator/DavidAlanGrier) into a secret society of magical Black people who dedicate their lives to a cause of utmost importance: making white people’s lives easier so that the white people will then be less of a danger to black people. Unfortunately, his first 'client' Jason (Drew Tarver) is smitten with a girl named Lizzie (An-Li Bogan) that Aren also falls for, and the resultant love triangle ends up jeopardizing the organization as a whole.
