With the realization of who’s been behind all the troubles the family has been facing recently, Jimmy, Randolph, and the Copelands plan a full on assault on their newly discovered enemy, with enormous consequences for the future of Bronzeville.

Furious with her family, Lisa leaves Bronzeville and goes to St. Louis, where she meets up with Frank Barnes. Back on the South Side, the Copeland organization is unraveling.

Tension between Lisa and Everett over her budding relationship with Jimmy mounts. Randolph goes into the heart of rich white Chicago society and deals with some important family business.

Everett is finally released from prison, and the forces that have been squeezing Bronzeville and the Copeland organization step up their game. While everyone else has come to trust Jimmy, the new kid, Everett’s not so sure, which makes life even tougher for the kid.

An explosive murder changes everything. While Randolph threatens to take Bronzeville into total war, Jimmy has to take Lisa to the Copeland’s out of town house for protection.

When Lisa is kidnapped by a pair of out of town thugs, Jimmy and Casper begin a desperate search to find her before she’s killed. But as we’re starting to learn, there’s much more to Lisa Copeland than meets the eye.
