All is well with the happy couple, until one day when Aiden decides he wants to divorce Lily to prove to the world that he is a "real brother". Shenanigans ensure while Lily deals with the burden of saving her family from foreclosure as she navigates everyone's opinion on how she should be raising her black kids.
