Moe and the crew are back in the final installment of the Dirty Money Saga for one final heist where they have the opportunity to get rich or die trying. No matter how much dirty money she has chased, no dollar amount has ever filled the void in her heart the way Savant has. He's the Prince Charming that she's always imagined taking her away from her troubled life and giving her the normalcy she deserves. However, Moe finds that the fairytale life she envisions won’t happen when two old ghosts reenter Savant’s life: his treacherous ex-girlfriend, Nik, and the very slick Kasiim. Between Nik’s desire to stir the pot and Kasiim luring Savant back into his fast lifestyle, every step forward Moe and Savant takes comes with four drama filled steps back. Moe finds herself constantly questioning Savant’s loyalty to her, and their relationship is tested when a huge family secret threatens everything they’ve built. As if her life wasn’t difficult enough, Moe's mother, Deborah, reenters with the intentions of spilling secrets and reigniting old grudges. Like any hustler, Deborah’s silence comes with a price, and Moe has to make the decision to pay...or make her go away for free. Since the reformed life doesn’t offer a large enough payout, Moe rejoins Poochie and the team for the planning of one last heist that can set them up for life, or have them doing twenty-five to life. Stepping back into the game comes with reminders of the good times, with one good time in particular: Onyx. Although Moe fights her feelings for Onyx, the Brooklyn boss becomes a constant in her life when the going gets rough with Savant and the only man who embraces her love of the pursuit of dirty money. In the finale of So Obsessed with a Brooklyn Boss, allegiances change, loyalties are tested, and love comes with a price at the pursuit of dirty money. Moe must tread lightly and determine if she wants to be the bad girl gone good with Savant, or be the queen that Onyx is searching for to help rule his kingdom one dollar bill at a time.

Born in the heart of Brooklyn to a dope fiend mother and ghost of a father, Moette Henderson, aka Moe, learned at a young age that cash ruled all. Raised by her money hungry foster mother, Moe quickly became one of the best hustlers in the game, wooing some of the biggest kingpins in the game and hitting them where it hurts the most: their pockets. Moe has been hardened by the game, and the only thing keeping her sane was her little sister, Roni. It's Moe's dedication to making sure that Roni had the life she's always dreamed of that kept her pushing, and she's convinced that she's got it under control until she meets Savant, a bandit turned businessman. A born paper chaser with no fear of the law or losing his life, Savant is every woman’s dream and hustler’s nightmare.

She's everything that he could ask for: smart, loyal, and a natural born hustler like himself. The problem? There's something about her that he can't quite put his finger on. When Moe’s best friend, Damaris, comes up with the idea to go from robbing hustlers to banks, Moe’s apprehensive until she gets a taste of that dirty money. With an insatiable taste for the thrill of heist after heist, Moe has to keep her lifestyle hidden from the reserved Savant.

Heartbroken over the demise of her relationship with Savant, Moe struggles to go back to life before him, finding it easier said than done. Hovering between bouts of depression and attempts of promiscuity, Moe is convinced that she’ll never find another man to care for her the way Savant did. Until she meets the mysterious Onyx and discovers that she has a debt to settle. Forced to work off her debt, Moe discovers a new life in the drug trade that small cons never afforded her. For the first time in her life, she works for her money, and it feels good. But, as usual, with more money comes more problems. Moe has to juggle being a big sister to a difficult Roni, a shoulder to lean on for an incarcerated Damaris, and discovering a normal life with Juju. And just when she thinks she has it under control, the opportunity to reclaim the love of her life pops up with a cost larger than any dollar amount. Hailing from Jamaican royalty, Johann “Onyx” Walcott is a beast in the streets and in the boardroom. A successful connect by day and prominent club owner by night, Onyx lives the life many would envy enough to steal from it, which is what happens when Moe walks into First Continental Bank and robs him of his attaché case containing a quarter of a million dollars. It doesn’t take him long to find her, and when he does, he discovers that a beautiful face and cold heart lie behind her ski mask. Instead of killing her, Onyx turns Moe into a ruthless runner, who wreaks havoc on the streets and slowly builds a name for herself. Onyx soon learns that there is more to Moe than meets the eye and finds himself slowly falling for her, but he’s wondering in the back of his head if she was true to the game or simply playing it because the price was right. Connected by a contract to Onyx while remaining loyal to her feelings for Savant, Moe is stuck in an emotional tug of war, finding herself in a situation that money can't solve. And when an opportunity to be free of Onyx presents itself, she has to decide if she's ready to give up the fast money for love, or pledge her allegiance to the dead presidents.

Some wounds never heal, and for Jonessy Price, the reemergence of her mother is a unscabbing scar, rejecting time’s insistence that it heals.

However, she has no choice but to rearrange her life for the Price Matriarch. As if dealing with her mother isn’t troublesome enough, Jonessy struggles to become whole after a piece of her was taken away abruptly. She throws herself into taking care of everyone, neglecting herself. The one place she finds solace is in her artwork. Although slow, her healing begins, and just as she makes strides they come to a halt at the possibility that the person responsible for shattering her world is alive, flittering in and out of her life in an unexpected way. Jonessy’s best friend Envy has gone from writing the book baes of her dreams to sleeping with a nameless, faceless one referred to as “Stranger.” What she doesn’t know is that he’s the catalyst for past and future events. Casanova Wilde’s identity has revolved not around his money, the harem of women he once entertained, or even the respect he garners on the street. Without the use of his legs he struggles with being a man, specifically being the man he promised Jonessy Price he would be. No longer the source of affection for most and a threat to the rest, Nova navigates life searching for his purpose, only to find his condition hasn’t changed his circumstances; he has. Refusing to stand in his own way, Casanova Wilde works on returning to full form, which he realizes doesn’t mean reverting to his old ways, simply amplifying the same heartless thug Jonessy fell in love with. As Nova goes on a journey to match his mental and physical, Blanc discovers the detriment to keeping the world on his shoulders. Chaos unfolds as Casablanca Wilde searches for Leon Price’s killers, leaving a path of chaos and destruction. In the midst of it, Blanc learns the cost of being the hero when his loved ones are placed in the line of fire due to his careless mistakes. With no one to turn to, an unlikely ally teams up with the coldest Wilde Brother to complete a story of sex, money, and murder. At the center of the impending war between the Wilde and Hines Brothers is Mali Price, who pays for her sins at every turn. Walking the tight rope between doing the right thing and remaining complacent for the sake of acceptance, Mali has her own traumas to unpack, especially when they threaten the very people who have kept her head above water whenever she was drowning. Will she risk everything to absolve herself of her previous transgressions? Or is it too little, too late?
