[1][2] It stars Tami Roman, Remy Ma, Daijah Peters, Danielle LaRoach, Stevie Baggs, and Teisha Speight.
[4] During a birthday party attended by her relatives, Cameron Smith and her mother Patricia are visited by her aunt Mia and her daughter Angela.
As a result of Nancy and Joanne giving birth from the sex work they are put in, Aunt Mia sells their babies on the black market to make ends meet.
While at a bar, Mia entices a medical school graduate named Diana into coming to her house, and imprisons her in the basement to help with the deliveries.
At Angela's latest house, the basement proves too small for all the captives, so Mia locks Cameron into a closet, claiming that she is doing this to make her family strong.
When a parole board member asks if anyone would like to say anything before they pass their verdict, Cameron takes the chance to tell Mia that what she said to her before locking in the closet is not making her family stronger and calls her evil.
