NAACP Image Award-winning singer Keri Hilson leads the cast of the second film. Canadian singer-songwriter Keshia Chanté co-stars as her sister.
The two play a chart-topping singing duo, “but behind closed doors, sibling rivalry runs deep. After returning to their hotel one night, the sisters’ penthouse is the target of a frightening jewel heist. Investigators believe the robbery was an inside job.”
Will the sisters put aside their desire for the spotlight or let their temptation for fame tear them apart?
