The Shen Family

In Orange County, Calif., sisters Chacha (10) and Kennie (15) are pursuing fame in the entertainment industry with the help of their momager Sam and dad Phil. As the household CEO, event planner and manager, Sam is a former competitive dancer who gave up her dancing career and has now put all her dreams into her children. Sam manages their daughters' industry careers and social media presence, garnering an impressive following from their skills in acting, dancing, modeling and singing. When younger Chacha, who is in her "golden year" as a child performer, begins to secure more opportunities than her older sister, including a music video and appearance on Access Hollywood, Sam is put in a tough position in giving her children equal attention as not just a mother, but as a manager.

The Brooks Family

A mother to four, Kia Brooks is the momager and glue that keeps her family together. In addition to her work as an entrepreneur in Atlanta, Kia manages basketball and hip-hop's next big star, her 17-year-old daughter, Flau'Jae Johnson. Born into the rap game, Flau'Jae is looking to carry the legacy of her late father, rapper Camoflauge. Her talent doesn't stop behind the mic, though, as she's also a stellar basketball player attending LSU in the fall. Kia's eldest son, Tray, is also looking to break out in the music industry but feels his mom is too dedicated to Flau'Jae's career to help manage his. With a deal from a record label on the table for Flau'Jae and a disagreement with Tray, Kia and her children must learn to not let business interfere with the family.
