"Beyond the Gates" is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where the characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life -- and some with more grace than others.

Dani does her best to bolster Bill; Chelsea takes out her frustrations on Madison; Martin's re-election is in jeopardy; Jacob's evidence is met with familial resistance; Hayley has a face-off with Caroline; Kat and Tomas find common ground.

Anita's homecoming party forces Ted and Nicole to navigate their new normal with Shanice and Kial; Vernon gets intel that puts him on high alert; Bill comes clean to Elon; Andre has harsh criticisms for Dani; Heather's in the catbird seat; Joey plots to protect Vanessa.

The Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty, live, love, work and play in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C.
