At Crown Hill University-North Little Rock's beloved HBCU, where tradition runs deep, and the Yard never sleeps-four seniors are taking their final year head-on.

Ember "Em" Mayes is the calm storm-sweet Pisces aura with a Scorpio edge-determined to become a criminal behavioral analyst. She's grown, unbothered, and refusing to let anybody pull her back into the mess she's outgrown. Angel "A.J." Jefferson, the pearl-wearing nursing queen with Sagittarius fire and Leo energy, is juggling love, leadership, and her dream of becoming a Family PA. She's sugar, spice, and a whole lot of heart... until life tests just how much she can carry. Kyrie "Ky" Majors, smooth-talking Southern charmer with a low-country accent that turns heads, is the prayer warrior of the group. A future educator with Virgo precision and Capricorn hustle, he holds everyone down-but secretly struggles to hold himself up. Lucki "Luck" Baltimore, the mama bear with Aries fire and a booming dessert business, protects her friends fiercely. She pours into everybody... but this year teaches her that she deserves the same love she gives. Together, they've built a family on the Yard. Together, they've grown through heartbreaks, glow-ups, homecoming madness, late-night study grinds, sorority & fraternity chaos, and southern campus culture that feels like home. But senior year hits different. Dreams shift. Secrets surface. Love gets complicated. And the Yard they once ruled feels smaller than the future calling their names. This is a story about friendship, identity, growing up, and holding on even as life pushes you forward. When the memories fade and the stage lights hit... who will they become after the Yard is no longer theirs?

She had it all...from the looks, to the men, from the men to the women. She bled money. From dirty money to clean money. Had the finest of the finest. Her Money welcomed many so called lovers of her . But lets not get it twisted. Where there is love, there is hate...She had that too. Yet she still roamed the earth as if her residence was welcomed any and everywhere she step foot. When she walked in a room, she'd never had to part her lips, to say a word;Her presence alone spoke volumes. You may not have known her name, but soon you would have. Everyone and they momma knew of her. But only a handful genuinely knew her. She went by the Name of MACK MOMMA. WRITTEN BY LADYDEEGOLDEN

Before he was the powerful Reverend Jonathan Ward - shepherd of one of the city's largest and most respected churches - he was a man of the law. A sharp, unshakable defense attorney who believed in protecting the people from a system designed to break them. But power has a price. When a high-profile client from the city's most feared family offers him more money and influence than he's ever seen, Jonathan finds himself standing at the edge of a dangerous line - one that could cost him his soul. Then comes Clarice - a brilliant, faith-driven hospital CEO raising two daughters on her own. She sees the man behind the tailored suits and courtroom victories... a man God isn't finished with yet. From the pulpit to the courthouse, from late-night prayers to the high-stakes battles of justice, Gospel & Law is a sweeping tale of faith, love, and redemption. It's the story of a man learning that true victory isn't won in the courtroom... but in the heart.
