"Power Book III: Raising Kanan" goes back to 1991 when Supras are the whip of choice and a fly shearling coat is a symbol of status in the hood. Kanan navigates this world of glamour and grit as he comes into his own and gets out of the shadow of his mother, Raq, who runs the streets of Southside Jamaica, Queens, with her brothers, Marvin and Lou-Lou. Despite Kanan being under their watchful eyes, danger lurks just around the corner. There's Unique, a rival dealer who has his eye on the family's turf, and Detective Malcolm Howard, a pestering cop who gets a kick out of harassing community members and getting under Raq's skin.

Raq makes a life-changing decision in the aftermath of the Mafia's ambush, but it's too little, too late for Kanan, as he looks to pave his own path free of his mother's lies.

Raq continues her farewell tour with one last job for the Mafia while Kanan dives further into the drug game with an innovative business idea; Howard faces a new threat at the precinct.
