Nova, played by “True Blood’s” Rutina Wesley is the oldest sister, a healer and community activist charged with keeping the family together. Charlotte, played by Dawn-Lyen Gardner, is the cosmopolitan wife of a basketball superstar who returns home to seek solace with her family after scandal rocks [sic] her seemingly perfect world. Ralph Angel, played by dreamy newcomer Kofi Siriboe (“Awkward.”) is the troubled younger brother, recently out of jail, looking for work while trying to do right by his young son.
