Synopsis

STAR (newcomer Jude Demorest), a tough-as-nails young woman who came up in the foster care system, tracks down her sister, SIMONE (newcomer Brittany O'Grady), and her Instagram bestie, ALEXANDRA (newcomer Ryan Destiny), and together, the trio journeys to Atlanta with the hope of becoming music superstars.

Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award, Grammy Award and Golden Globe Award winner Queen Latifah ("Bessie," "Bringing Down The House") stars as CARLOTTA, a surrogate mother to the young crew, that also includes COTTON (newcomer Amiyah Scott). Emmy Award nominee Benjamin Bratt ("24: Live Another Day," "Law & Order") plays JAHIL, a down-on-his-luck talent agent looking to revitalize his career.
