The series is something like a soap opera, or perhaps the kind of revisionist melodrama that Ryan Murphy became famous for in recent years (both RPDR shows and Feud: Bette and Joan seem like possible influences), given an added Tinseltown shine from Perry’s sparkling sensibilities.
The series shares the lives of these two women, raised in completely different communities but having accidentally crossed paths. About the Show: This series revolves around Kimmie, an exotic dancer and what we find to be Mallory who is heir of a prestigious haircare empire.
Kimmie, weary of her difficult life, becomes wrapped up in a cycle of lies and deception that could leave them all dead. What Tarik and Mallory have in common is that his wife cannot handle the stress of raising a family inside an office, while she brings with her a whole host of business concerns when it comes to keeping IFX going. Their paths cross when both women end up having a connection to the same family who turn out to be rich and very much in control. Ambition, betrayal and the price it takes to reach others capture Wanuri Kahiu’s energy in this series.
