Bennie, Roderick and Claudette all work at Bennie's tire and brake shop. On this fateful morning, on their way to work they each come to learn about the mass shooting that took place at a local factory where "everyone has worked or knows someone who works there." Upon learning that the shooter was black and at one time a good kid, their shock turns to a full day of arguing about race and the burden of black folks to "properly represent". However, once more details come to light and the situation hits closer to home than every imagined, each of their perspectives start to shift . . . all the while the killer remains on the loose.

After a ten-year prison stint, Baybra goes to live with his sister Tellulah and her deacon husband Charles. Everyone and everything around him seems to have changed for the best in his absence, yet he isn't convinced. While he should be attempting to rebuild his life, including forge a relationship with his daughter who was a baby when he was first imprisoned, he has chosen instead to learn the truth behind Charles once abusive ways and has a more sinister plan than demonstrating his rehabilitation. He wants revenge and for things to be what they once were between him and his sister who for so long only had each other.

Norma and Spicer have been married for forty years and should be enjoying their golden years. Spicer certainly worked hard enough throughout the years and they were blessed with beautiful children and grandchildren. However, after a recent tragedy strikes, they turn to therapy in an effort to answer questions no one else can answer. Through flashbacks and brutal realizations, they must come to terms with the truths that seemed to elude them for so long and maybe things were never what they seemed.

John is black. Lydia is white. He's young(er), she's old(er). He's a man. She's a woman. His marriage is ending. Lydia's will endure forever no matter what. He's her son, she's his mother and that may be the only connection they have; it may also be the only connection they need. What starts off as him opening his home to her in a last ditch effort to help her get clean, soon turns into them both unpacking the past that has never been discussed and certainly from which they've never healed.

Walt and Sandrin suffered a brutal home invasion recently, leaving Walt bandaged and bruised and Sandrin forever in his debt for saving her life. Suddenly, Detective Dalemburd shows up having taken over their file, but instead of tying up loose ends she is reopening old wounds. When it all seems unrelated, piece by piece things start to make sense and everyone's secret starts to reveal itself.

It's just a regular day in a Corporate American office. Printers are printing, computers are running, coffee is brewing, numbers are crunching and CEO's are visiting. Whereas managers tend to micro-manage, this particular office has a manager who has asked the only black man working at the company to wear a head-to-toe chicken costume for a presentation for the big wigs. It sets off a domino effect of arguments with everyone claiming to have it worse, while some claim no one has it that bad and the truth is the small things have tragically gone ignored. Tragically . . . indeed.
