Plot
Season One
The series follows the lives of a Los Angeles diamond trader's family business called Green & Green Diamond after recent events in which one of the patriarch's sons has killed a prominent diamond dealer, while his step-brother has to bail him out and save the family business. The Green family, however, is trapped between doing a clean and dirty business. Lady Rah, a diamond dealer and philanthropist from Sierra Leone has a huge interest in working with Green & Green. She forcefully integrates herself into Green & Green by blackmailing Jake Green that she needs an account of $25 million or he risks losing his daughter. As the season proceeds, the ailing cooperation between Isaac Green (Jake's father and the owner of Green & Green Diamond) weakens progressively and begins losing the appropriate mental judgement. Lady Rah continues blackmailing Jake into cooperating with her. This forces Jake and his step-brother, Freddy Green, to transport illegal diamonds over the border for a buyer who was willing to settle at an amount of $20 million. They lose the diamonds to one of Lady Rah's trusted operatives, however Isaac succumbs to the pressure and in the process enters into a huge conflict with longtime associate and former brother-in-law, Cam Rose.

The two men struggle and Isaac collapses hitting his head really hard. He later dies in hospital after fading while on life support. After the will is read, it turns out that the Isaac split the shares of Green & Green equally to four people: his granddaughter, Willow (daughter to Jake and his ex-wife Ava Green); his two sons; and his ailing sister, who happens to be Cam Rose's ex-wife. The will distribution greatly affects Cam expectations, and as a result he embarks on a mission to capture the easiest 25% from his ex-wife. However, the 25% assigned to his granddaughter are assigned to Ava, her mother with custody. Jake continues trying to repay Lady Rah, however, in the meantime, Lady Rah's boss Peter appears.

Apparently, Peter is blackmailing Lady Rah by kidnapping her daughter. Lady Rah is in the process of using all her savings to save her daughter's life and return to Sierra Leone. Peter becomes relentless with Cam promises that he will use his supposed 25% to capture the Green & Green business. As such, he kidnaps Ava Green to get an opportunity to blackmail Jake into giving him the company by force. The FBI advances their case based on the taped information from Cam's office. Jake eventually settles for more dynamic terms of doing business while freeing his ex-wife from Pieter. In the season finale, Freddy bumps into Pieter's new office at the Greens and finds Jake negotiating further terms of their contract. Lady Rah storms in with her security men and shoots Peter's guards. At the end, Jake is standing in the middle of Pieter and Lady Rah's guns, waiting for a shooting opportunity.
