War

Raised in complete poverty, 14-year-old Banks Wales' world is rocked when his mother is murdered. If not for his best friend Mason, the son of a kingpin, Banks would be alone. One rich, the other poor, the two do their best to stay alive and navigate the murderous streets of Baltimore. There's one problem. Banks' father sees the young king's affluent lifestyle as a reminder that he is lacking as a father and a man. So he makes a vicious move. One that puts his and Banks' life in extreme danger.

In the Wales and Louisville clans, love and hate mean the same. When Banks Wales invites his best friend Mason Louisville to dinner, the hope is to smooth out growing tensions that would put them back at odds. Things don’t go as planned. In an effort to stay with her boyfriend, Minnie Wales conspires with Arlyndo Louisville to expose Banks’ goals for the future. After bullets fly, Banks’ primary intention is to get his family safely to the beautiful Wales Island. It soon becomes obvious that this is easier planned than done.

After fleeing from Baltimore to protect his family from the aftermath of killing his best friend, Mason Louisville, Banks Wales believes the first part of his troubles is over. He's deathly wrong. Having arrived on the luxurious Wales Island, it becomes painfully obvious that Bet is changing for the worst. As she dwells on the fact that Harris is imprisoned and that Minnie has gone missing, her mind unravels in a way that shocks her family to the core. Banks finds her mood swings weak and as a result, questions the strength of their marriage.

Banks Wales can’t catch a break. After losing his son in a failed prison escape scheme, Banks is immediately forced to deal with the stowaways on his plane - Mason and his family. Forced to take them to his private island, he is immediately greeted by Whoyawanmetabe, the mystery man who did odd jobs for him back in America.

Although Banks left Wales Island, he didn’t return the same. Tiring of being Mr. Responsible, he embraces the persona of the bad guy with extreme ease. Unfortunately for him, now that he’s back in America, he brought with him an unwanted connection with a mysterious Latin kingpin. 

After dealing with multiple deaths, Banks and Jersey are grateful to welcome new life with the birth of their twins Ace and Walid. But when their secret comes out, Mason destroys their plans of happily ever after by giving his old friend an ultimatum. Once a decision is made, his answer has a far more painful result. After the loss of their loved ones, the other Wales and Louisville members do their best to adapt and find their identities. In the process, their reaching and grabbing for attention rub each other the wrong way, resulting in a decision with horrible consequences.

After suffering a massive headache, Banks undergoes surgery to remove the tumor threatening to take his life. Leaving his family to deal with the many enemies surrounding the Wales and Louisville’s, alone. Suddenly the war that plagued the two clans for decades appears irrelevant. As more sinister plans work hard in the background to provide them no relief. One thing is certain, life as they know it will never be the same.

After searching for more than a year for his twins, Ace and Walid, Mason was alerted to a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood. His world is rocked when he not only finds his sons, but also his best friend, Banks Wales, whom he assumed was dead. There is one major problem: Banks has changed. Suffering from extreme memory loss after a botched brain surgery, Banks is transformed into a beautiful woman, courtesy of his grandmother Gina Petit.

After years of plotting, Mason Louisville finally has what he always wanted. Upon selling Blaire Petit into believing that she was his wife post her brain injury, he expects things to be smooth. But the more Blaire becomes accustomed to their lives together, the more she starts to feel like something is wrong.

Something is wrong with Ace Wales. After being separated from his twin brother Walid, he is forced to live with his oldest brother Spacey, who does not think his malicious actions are cute or adorable at all. Keeping him in line, Spacey also comes to terms with his marriage falling apart. While also caring for his morbidly obese wife and young son, he finds himself in over his head. It does not help that Ace has grown obsessed with getting a bow and arrow for Christmas. After a near-death experience in the family, Mason summons the entire gang to the estate on Christmas Eve.

After Ace Wales has what could only be described as a mental breakdown, he is taken away for evaluation. Besides, the violence he displayed worries not only his family, but also child protective services. His removal from his home means that Banks Wales and Mason Louisville are forced to rehash their dark history, a past not entirely clear to Banks, who still suffers memory loss.

It’s true, Banks Wales is back with a vengeance. After regaining most of his memories, he makes it his business to resume his regularly scheduled program. Getting his family to the new and improved Wales Island. 

Now 18, twins Ace and Walid Wales are grown men. Born to the billionaire Banks Wales, it quickly becomes obvious that paradise is not heaven on Earth for Ace when he feels the pressure of his overbearing father. After a brutal incident on their private island, Banks applies pressure which sends Ace’s already volatile behavior out of control. To make matters worse, the youngest generation, Blakeslee, Riot, Bolt, and Patrick, are taking notice, and it’s obvious if things aren’t reigned in, he will eventually spoil the bunch.

After making big-boy moves to get from under his billionaire father, Banks Wales, Ace proves he has the tenacity to live on his own in Baltimore. With millions at his disposal, he doesn’t miss a beat, trading mansions on the beach for penthouses in the city. Soon he misses his twin brother, Walid, and unknowingly allows his ego to present itself in dangerous ways when he’s rejected. This pushes his relationship with his fiancé, Arbella Valentine, into dangerous territories. All the while, it’s clear that Banks knows all and manipulates moves in the background.

After successfully fleeing Mexico, Ace “Cabello” Wales makes it back to the States for two reasons. First, to reunite with the love of his life, Arbella. And secondly to make his father, Banks Wales, pay for selling him into slavery. Since the details of Ace’s insidious plan are sealed, we get glimpses of the treachery he has in store after he visits Aliyah, his twin brother’s baby mother, and Sydney, the mother of a disowned Wales’ child who happens to be his son.

In the gritty follow-up to the War Saga, Walid Wales gets a cryptic call that sends him deep into the treacherous underbelly of Belize. His entire family’s held hostage, and the architect of this nefarious plan is none other than his own twin, Ace Wales, a loose cannon who’s hellbent on stealing their billionaire father’s empire. Ace, in cahoots with his girlfriend Arbella and his manipulative mother-in-law, Faye, orchestrates a billion-dollar heist, intending to bleed his father’s accounts dry. No witnesses can be left behind when all is said and done, and blood ties ain’t worth a damn.
