Synopsis
The Gabriel family is in ruins. Phylisha has been destroyed by rouge FBI agents. Tayron and Pastor are still on the run and Wilma is placed in a mental institution, the very same one where her mother died years ago. But someone knows that Wilma isn’t really crazy. Somebody knows that she’s just hiding from the FBI. One day Wilma receives an anonymous phone call from a man who claims that Phylisha Gabriel is alive, but not well.

Wilma is taken from the mental institution by agents of the African Madu and reunited with Tayron and Pastor, who have been hiding out for close to two years. The Gabriels are instructed to fly to Alginia, Africa where they met Ku-Puma, the High Chief who trained Pastor. Back in America, the Retibecks and the Ita prepare for the arrival of Esquire, the leader of the Ita and a powerful corporate lawyer who holds the key to unlocking the power of the sacred African headdress.

With help from the African Madu, the Gabriels return to the United States to face the Retibeck/Ita alliance. The rouge FBI still hunt the Gabriels, until Madu official planted with in the Bureau in Washington DC calls them off. Now the two families are free to have open war and Esquire declares it on Pastor and his clan. Pastor knew this day was coming.
