Plot
The series follows the lives of a Los Angeles diamond traders family business called G&G Diamond after recent events where one of the patriarchs sons has killed a prominent diamond dealer, while his step-brother has to bail him out and save the family business.[3] The Green and Green family is however trapped between doing a clean and dirty business. On one end, a Sierra Leone native, diamond dealer and philanthropists have huge interests in working with the G&G. She forcefully integrates herself in the G&G by blackmailing Jake Pierce that she needs an account of 25 million or Jake risks losing his daughter. As the season proceeds, the ailing cooperation between Freddy Green (Jake's father and the owner of G&G Diamond) weakens progressively and begins losing the appropriate mental judgement. Sister Rah continues blackmailing Jake into cooperating with her. This forces Jake and Freddy Green (Jay Brother) to transport illegal diamonds over the border for a buyer who was willing to settle at an amount of 20 million. They lose the diamonds to one of Sister Rah trusted operatives, however Isaac succumbs to the pressure in the process enters into a huge conflict with Cam Green. The two men struggle and Isaac collapses hitting his head really hard. He later dies in hospital after failing in life support. After the will is read, it turns out that the Isaac split the shares of G&G in equally to four people; His granddaughter (daughter to Jake and his ex wife Ava Pierce), his two sons and his ailing sister, who happens to be Cam Green's ex wife. The will distribution greatly affects Cam expectations, as a result he embarks on a mission to capture the easiest 25%, that is from his wife. However, the 25% assigned to his granddaughter are assigned to Ava her mother for custody. Jake continues trying to repay Sister Rah, however in the meantime, Sister Rah's boss Peter appears. Apparently, Peter is blackmailing Sister Rah by kidnapping her daughter. Sister Rah is in the process of using all her savings to save her daughter's life and return to Sierra Leone. Peter becomes relentless with Cam promises that he will use his supposed 25% to capture the G&G business. As such, he kidnaps Ava Pierce to get an opportunity to blackmail Jake into giving him the company by force. The FBI advances their case based on the tapped information from Cam office. Jake eventually settles for more dynamic terms of doing the business while freeing his ex wife from Peter. At the season finale episode 11, Freddy bumps into Peter new office at the Greens and finds Jake negotiating further terms of their contract. Sister Rah storms in with his security men and shoots Peter's guards. At the end, Jake is standing in the middle of Peter and Sister Rah guns, waiting for a shooting opportunity.
