From an affluent Detroit area and daughter to a single mother (Whitney Houston), she tries to balance a new romance with music manager, Stix (Derek Luke) while dealing with the unexpected challenges her new life will bring as she and her two sisters (Tika Sumpter and Carmen Ejogo) strive to become a dynamic singing group during the Motown-era.”
