Synopsis: Created by and starring Kilpatrick, season two finds Diarra Brickland trying — unsuccessfully — to have a hot girl summer without getting wrapped up in yet another deeply unserious and extremely dangerous Detroit mystery. This time around, what starts as a seemingly harmless furniture recovery mission quickly spirals into a triple homicide investigation, a citywide treasure hunt and another trip deep into Detroit’s criminal underbelly. As Diarra attempts to sort out her messy relationship status, she instead finds herself going undercover with a secret society, starring in a Tubi movie, chasing urban legends, dodging gang warfare, and uncovering secrets buried beneath the city itself. Because of course she does.
About setting the series in Detroit
Diarra (Pronounced like ‘Tiara, but with a “D”), who was born and raised in Detroit told CBS Mornings that it was important for her to showcase the city she was from. “There was a little Black girl in Detroit that had a dream,” Kilpatrick told CBS Mornings. “I wanted to entertain people, and it hasn’t always been easy, but I’ve been obedient to that. I’m proud of myself.”
“[The series] captures the tone of Detroit,” Kirkpatrick continued. “We don’t ever really know what’s going to be quite around the corner, whether it’s going to be a belly laugh or whether it’s going to be something dangerous. But at the end of the day, the people are induced with a sense of heart and humor.”
