Ready to relaunch her singing career, R&B superstar Toni invites her four younger sisters to join her for a benefit concert in Bermuda. But old rivalries and resentments threaten to ruin what was meant to be a joyful family reunion.
Taste Of A Wedding Singer (2011)

It’s My Birthday (2011)
Toni’s plans for a quiet birthday are ruined when Tamar convinces her that the sisters should jet to Miami to celebrate. They take a yacht tour, attend a Dolphins game, and shop for a vacation home. Back in Atlanta, Towanda sets Toni up on a date.
I Love LA (2011)
Toni, her mother, and her sisters arrive at Tamar and Vince’s house in Los Angeles, where they’ll be staying while Toni is honored at a Lupus LA charity event. Tamar gives them an annoyingly detailed list of her “house rules” that she expects them to follow, as well as a “to-do” list of activities. But the Braxton ladies are thrilled when Tamar surprises them with their brother Mikey’s arrival from Maryland. Later, Tamar talks Toni into getting a spray tan so she’ll look good for the event. Toni hates the results, and her sisters make fun of her bad tan. The sisters have a slumber party in their pajamas, and drink Champagne. At breakfast the next morning, the sisters are appalled by Traci’s poor table manners. Tamar says she’s going to take her to a charm school, and suggests that Evelyn get a Botox treatment. Toni insists on accompanying Tamar and her mother to the plastic surgeon, but becomes squeamish and leaves the room when Evelyn gets an injection. Evelyn is happy with the result.
From Russia with Love (2011)
Toni meets with Vince to discuss her upcoming gig in Russia, and the state of her career. She wants to do a Vegas show, but she’s concerned no one will hire her because of her Lupus. Vince reassures her. Traci is upset when she learns that she can’t go to Russia due to a visa issue. As rehearsal goes poorly, as Trina doesn’t know her moves, and Tamar calls to say she can’t go to Russia either. Toni asks Towanda to fill in, and she agrees. Trina goes to counseling with Gabe, who apologizes for his infidelities. Towanda shops for a wardrobe for Toni, who is hard to please, then rehearses with Trina. Sure enough, Toni isn’t happy with her choices, and Towanda is upset that Toni shopped on her own and didn’t tell her. Trina and Towanda pack and say goodbye their husbands and kids. Towanda’s not sorry to leave Andre, but she struggles not to cry when she says goodbye to her kids. When they arrive in Russia, they learn that some of their luggage has been lost. Luckily, Toni is able to borrow a dress for a TV appearance. Later, Trina and Towanda go to dinner while Toni relaxes. Trina breaks a tooth during the meal. The next day, Towanda and Trina shop and drink Vodka with pickles. Toni worries about the luggage, and Towanda feels Toni is blaming her. They visit a boutique, and Toni finds a dress to wear at her concert. In their dressing rooms, Towanda grows nervous about performing, and Trina realizes she left her makeup kit at the hotel. Toni’s fears that the audience won’t like her performance seem to be coming true during her first song, as they are quiet. But they applaud at the end; that’s how Russian audiences behave. Toni invites an audience member onstage to dance, and he gets a little too grabby. At dinner, Trina has too much to drink as usual. And when Towanda goes to her room in the morning, she realizes Trina had continued to party in her room, and is grossed out when Trina shows Towanda her broken tooth. Back home, Towanda is joyfully reunited with her kids.
