"Lucky, Bryce and Harmony Whitfield are three sexy and bold African American sisters living in Landover, Maryland. Although the three sisters are deeply connected, they are all quite different. Lucky is the baby of the family and a medical student. Harmony is the reserved owner of a temp agency. Bryce is the most outgoing and wild sister despite the fact that she works at a conservative investment firm. The three sisters gather at a restaurant to dish and talk about their respective sexcapades over Memorial day weekend. Each sister tells the other that she has participated in the most outrageous sexual encounter, leading each sister respectively to tell in detail what occurred over their holiday weekend. Harmony, who has recently broken up with her longtime lover Zachary, is floored when her best friend Fatima makes an indecent proposal. Fatima wants Harmony to sleep with her cheating husband, Javon, in order to secretly videotape the liason and nail him to the wall. Being the great friend that she is, Harmony agrees to sleep with her best friend's husband. Larger than life Bryce is on her way to her friend Lamar's barbecue when a fellow driver nearly runs her off the road then calls her a bitch out of his window. When Bryce arrives at the barbecue she spots the driver's car outside Lamar's house and decides to confront the driver. Bryce and the handsome driver, Troy, engage in a verbal altercation then head to Lamar's basement where they start shedding their clothes and their inhibitions. Baby sister Lucky ends up getting stinking drunk at a nightclub and finds herself waking up in the bed of Marvin Mitchell, who happens to be the Dean of her medical school. When Lucky awakens she and Marvin engage in a younger woman/older man encounter, one that opens Lucky's eyes about the benefits of having an older lover. "
