Three movies - Lust, Envy, and Greed - have been commissioned for production to debut next year. The movies are executive produced by T.D. Jakes, Derrick Williams and Shaun Robinson.
LUST - Tiffanie is about to have the wedding of her dreams to her soul mate, the dashing Damon King. But when Damon's old friend Trey arrives, Tiffanie's whole world gets rocked. Sexy and mysterious, Trey triggers a passion in Tiffanie that she never expected, and suddenly the life she's always planned with Damon is uncertain. But Trey still carries wounds from his history with Damon, and his intentions toward both Tiffanie and Damon are not to be trusted.
ENVY - Gabrielle has it all - a devoted husband, a beautiful daughter, and one of the best PR firms in the country. When Gabrielle's father suddenly reveals she has a half-sister, Keisha, as a result of a brief affair, only-child Gabrielle is delighted to welcome her into her life. But Keisha, who grew up with nothing, wants more than a sisterly bond from Gabrielle - she wants her life, and is willing to do whatever it takes to get it.
GREED - Zuri always felt that she deserved more: a better job, more money, fancy clothes, designer handbags, among other things. What she did have is an amazing boyfriend, local artist Stephon, who is struggling to break through with his art. A chance meeting leads Zuri to be courted professionally by a number of powerful men who offer tantalizing glimpses of the life she thinks she should have, but each requires small compromises that start to undermine Zuri's relationships with the people she loves. Ultimately, Zuri's greed draws her into a web of deceit, with consequences she never could have imagined.

Of all the poor people living in the foothills of the mountains of West Virginia, the Casteel's were considered the lowest. Yet, the eldest daughter, Heaven Leigh Casteel (Basso), was still the prettiest and smartest girl in the backwoods, despite her ragged clothes. Heaven encouraged her four younger siblings to cling to their pride and hope for a day that they'd escape their poverty. But when Heaven's stepmother Sarah runs away, Heaven's greedy, selfish father Luke (Martin) develops a scheme to make money... sell his children off one by one. Heaven is sent to live in the home of Luke's deranged ex-lover, Kitty (Benz).
