"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.

Nicole and Ted rally together; Martin and Smitty's plans go left; Andre worries that Dani might backtrack; Bill makes an emotional admission to Naomi; Eva and Leslie get caught up in the moment; Hayley has delusions of grandeur.

Dani's intuition has her on edge; Nicole and Kat catch Chelsea off guard; Naomi and Hayley trade barbs; Caroline puts her foot down with Bill; Heather has something major planned for Joey.

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.
