Synopsis
Braxton Family Values; Five sisters. Only one spotlight. Like their famous sister Toni Braxton, Traci, Towanda, Trina and Tamar were all blessed with singing talent and shared that gift as a group, The Braxtons, managed by their mom, Evelyn. Fast forward a few years and Toni is a megastar with hit after hit and millions of albums sold. Meanwhile, Traci documents her life in Maryland; Towanda pursues acting; Trina becomes a backup for Toni and a part-time wedding singer; and Tamar is working on getting her star to rise with her husband, Vince, a successful music industry executive. See if their super-close sisterly bond and unconditional love can get them through the ups and downs of life in the fab lane.
