Set in Atlanta in the 1990s, the series centers around the Dawn family, daughter Paige, a sophomore at Spelman college whose life gets off track when she falls for a bad boy type; her father, Councilman Robert Dawn, whose political ambitions on his quest to become mayor come at a grave personal and moral cost; and his wife, Connie, who tries to keep the family together. Their personal drama takes place against the larger backdrop of two of Atlanta's biggest cultural events at the time: Freaknik and the 1996 Summer Olympics.
