Via Vibe, a statement from the network explains a synopsis of the third season:
“The third season of Power Book II: Ghost commences with Tariq St. Patrick, played by Michael Rainey Jr. (Orange is the New Black, The Butler), determined to get his trust, get back to his family, and get out of the game for good. The emergence of a merciless new connect interposes Tariq’s plans to reunite with Tasha, played by Naturi Naughton (Notorious, Queens), and Yaz, played by Paris Morgan, and puts him, Brayden, played by Gianni Paolo (Ma, The Fosters), and Effie, played by Alix Lapri (Den of Thieves, Standing Up), back into business with the Tejadas as they’re challenged to move more weight than ever before. When Brayden brings Tariq in as an intern at his family’s hedge fund Weston Holdings, the drug business broadens beyond Stansfield and the streets onto Wall Street, while Tariq is also shown an alternate, legitimate path to success. Monet Tejada, played by Mary J. Blige (The Help, The Umbrella Academy), ignited by the death of her son Zeke Cross, played by Daniel Bellomy (Paint, Freak Show), is willing to pay a hefty price to avenge her firstborn and keep the rest of her children – and the business – in line as she works closely with Davis MacLean, played by Method Man (How High, Soul Plane), to solve Zeke’s murder and keep the feds off her trail. Business is flourishing when an astonishing reveal forces Tariq to reckon with a betrayal from those closest to him… and a R.I.C.O. investigation escalating into the entire drug enterprise, pulling Tariq deeper into the business and even closer to the legacy of his father.”
