Superstars Obie and Princess went through it all: kidnapping, rape, even nervous breakdown. Obie gave Princess her start in... More > R&B, now she's back on top with him at her side. Then her idol Aaliyah dies and her first love: Obie’s younger brother LaRocque, crashes his car, exposing his carefully hidden HIV status. The couple watches in horror as first the Industry then LaRocque’s friends abandon him. Princess suddenly longs to quit R&B, become a Gospel singer and have a baby yet Obie pushes her on. Meanwhile Obie’s at war not only with his wife but with his “twin” brother/business partner Hood over LaRocque’s illness. Deteriorating health leads LaRocque on a bleak, self-destructive path. Feelings Princess thought were “dead and stinking” come back to haunt her.
Did she pick the wrong brother? Is her love strong enough to keep LaRocque alive? And where does this leave Obie, who’s always been there for Princess?
Who can he turn to now that his wife is “otherwise occupied”? < Less

In this second part of the Obie and Princess saga, the Princess who returns to the mansion is far different, both physically... More > and emotionally, than the Princess who left with Einstein the night before. Promoting Princess's latest CD release gets temporarily lost in the scramble to pick up the shattered pieces of her life, yet Obie finds Princess's "Carry On As Usual" attitude a bit hard to take. Forced to separate by conflicting career demands, their skin color conflicts and social class issues ignite, then blow up in their faces. While Obie and Princess ponder how long they can make their relationship work, three deaths in a row rock their very foundation. The final tragedy pushes a still-fragile Princess over the edge, and Obie wonders if things will ever be right again. Is there anything that can save Princess? < Less
