Set in early 1980s Detroit, the Flenory family is struggling to make ends meet prompting their sons Demetrius "Meech" and Terry to turn to drug dealing in an effort to help. Money starts to roll in, but with their success comes their first big challenge.

The rivalry between the Flenory brothers and Layton escalates, reaching a deadly new level. Meanwhile, the Detroit drug landscape is shifting due to gang wars, creating new opportunities of fame and fortune for those who survive.

Meech lands in Atlanta, determined to build a drug empire and with it, a new life. After securing a cartel connection and building a nation-wide network of loyal hustlers, the "Black Mafia Family" is born.

BMF becomes Atlanta's hottest brand. Meech and Terry form BMF Entertainment, branching out into music, but as they reach their pinnacle of fame and fortune, law enforcement is getting suspicious.

A deadly shooting at Atlanta's hottest nightclub brings unwanted attention to Meech and BMF. Law enforcement zeros in on key evidence to the case they are building against BMF. Meech's flamboyant behavior begins to create a rift.

The Flenory brother's rift deepens, and the crew's loyalties are divided. Law enforcement makes key discoveries that force Meech to make a life-changing decision, but it is Terry that makes the most costly mistake.

Meech can't escape his old habits as he tries to stay a free man and keep BMF alive. Little does he know that his remaining crew aren't as loyal as they may seem. One by one, the dominos are falling.

The Black Mafia Family story comes to a dramatic close, as law enforcement makes their final play. Meech and Terry hope their legacy won't be written with them behind bars, while Lil' Meech is determined not to follow in the footsteps of his father.
