About "Power"

"Power" tells the story of a visionary crime drama set in two different worlds, the glamorous New York club scene and the brutal drug trade. James "Ghost" St. Patrick has it all: a beautiful wife, a gorgeous Manhattan penthouse, and the hottest, up-and-coming new nightclub in New York. His club, Truth, caters to the elite: the famous and infamous boldface names that run the city that never sleeps. As its success grows, so do Ghost's plans to build an empire. However, Truth hides an ugly reality. It's a front for Ghost's criminal underworld; a lucrative drug network, serving only the wealthy and powerful.

As Ghost is seduced by the prospect of a legitimate life, everything precious to him becomes unknowingly threatened. Once you're in, can you ever get out?

The cast is led by Omari Hardwick (Sparkle, For Colored Girls, Kick Ass, "Being Mary Jane") and joined by Lela Loren (Snitch, "Gang Related"), Naturi Naughton (Fame, "The Client List," "Mad Men") and Joseph Sikora (Jack Reacher, Safe, "Boardwalk Empire"). Hardwick stars as main character 'James "Ghost" St. Patrick'; Loren plays 'Angela Valdes,' an old flame of James's who unexpectedly reenters his life; Naughton plays 'Tasha St. Patrick,' wife, confidant and willing accomplice to James and Sikora plays 'Tommy Egan,' childhood best friend and business partner to "Ghost." The series is created by Courtney Kemp Agboh (Emmy(R) nominated for "The Good Wife"), and serves as executive producer and showrunner. Mark Canton (300, Immortals, 300: Rise of an Empire), Randall Emmett (End of Watch, 2 Guns, Lone Survivor) and David Knoller ("Big Love," "Carnivàle") also serve as executive producers. The series is produced in association with CBS Television Studios. The first episode of "Power" premiered on STARZ on June 7, 2014, as part of its eight episode first season, with each episode one hour in length.
