A warm, character-driven ensemble comedy-drama about four successful Black men navigating love, commitment, and friendship as they confront their own emotional growth.

This is the story of four African-American "yuppies" (a banker, a doctor, a lawyer, and a "playboy") who call themselves "The Brothers". When the playboy gets engaged, the other three friends find themselves having to come to terms with their own issues of commitment and honesty...
