Description: With hustling seemingly in their past, sisters Beau and Bella Jones attempt to move on and live normal lives, focusing on love, family, and their careers. When the opportunity to star as cast-mates on the hit reality TV show Sports Wives is presented, the sisters decide to take advantage of the exposure. But as soon as the cameras start rolling, the deep dark secrets they are desperately trying to keep hidden threaten to be revealed on screen. For one sister, the façade of her "perfect" life is put at risk with the possibility of having the devastating truth about her abusive relationship come out. The other has a long forgotten family member that suddenly appears back in her life threatening to jeopardize it all by creating a huge mess she's forced to clean up or die trying. The show also brings its own drama right from the very beginning of filming when the two sisters are forced to interact with the other wives of the show, who unexpectedly include a long-time arch nemesis. Tempers flare, bullets fly, skeletons are released from their closets--and it's all caught on camera, proving that none of the ladies are perfect, even if they pretend to be. The Hustle:Unscripted is a tale of drama, love, betrayal, and over-coming imperfection, all unfolding in front of rolling cameras. But even the drama portrayed on reality TV is nothing compared to what happens when the cameras aren't rolling, and it is clear that these sisters' lives are too real to be scripted. --
