About the Show:
Mama is up early to prepare an important meal and, even with her family on hand to help, time is running short. Tensions simmer with three generations of Black women under one roof, but things come to a boil as the violence hovering around the periphery of the Tuckers' family lives begins to intrude upon the sanctity of Mama’s kitchen.
