The season’s central conflict revolves around Tariq’s attempt to support his mother, Tasha (Naturi Naughton), who is facing federal prosecution. To pay for her high-powered lawyer, Tariq dives deeper into the drug game, learning to become a "ghost" in his own right. Meanwhile, his mentor, former prosecutor turned defense attorney Davis MacLean (Clifford "Method Man" Smith), and his estranged associate, Brayden Weston (Gianni Paolo), provide both comic relief and moral gray areas.
Picking up literally days after the finale of Power , Season 1 follows Tariq St. Patrick (Michael Rainey Jr.), the son of the murdered Ghost. While he was acquitted of the murder charges, Tariq is far from free. He is now juggling college life at the fictional Stansfield University, a budding romance with the ambitious Effie Morales, and a dangerous partnership with the Tejada family—a ruthless drug empire run by the matriarch, Monet Tejada (Mary J. Blige). power book ii: ghost s01 h265
