Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business

Brandy and Ray J are both ready to take their careers to the next level. They have had a lot of success over the years, but along the way the one person they've depended on the most has been their manager Sonja, who is also their mom. Sonja wants the kids to start handling more of the behind-the-scenes business so that she can take a step back. But whether or not Ray J and Brandy are ready for that is yet to be determined.

Ray J wants to record an album with super-producer Rodney Jerkens, but he's surprised to find out that Brandy has issues with Rodney and is against the deal. Things get even more complicated when Rodney tells Ray that Sonja's abrasive reputation in the music industry is causing problems. Ray J is caught in the middle as the family tries to find balance between business and loyalty.

Brandy has an important performance with Timbaland but when office antics get in the way of what should be a happy occasion, some deepseeded family issues come to light that threaten to derail the family business.

Tensions are running high in the Norwood family. Sonja and Brandy try to figure out why their mother-daughter relationship is so strained, but answers don't come easily. On the business end, Ray J's priorities are called into question and he must decide whether to defend his ways or take a new approach.

The Norwoods feel they need to turn up the heat on some business projects but it's not easy getting everyone on the same page. Will Sonja ever be able to take a step back from the business if Brandy and Ray J can't work as a team? Willie tries to keep Sonja on the right track, but it's an uphill battle.

It's Brandy's birthday and Ray J comes along to help her celebrate in Miami. Having missed Brandy's last birthday, Ray J feels the pressure to go big and pull out all the stops. But the thing Brandy wants most is for a certain guy to show up. Sonja and Willie make the most of their time apart from the kids and rekindle some romance.

Brandy and Sonja work on improving their mother-daughter relationship after so many years of tension related to their management relationship. Meanwhile Ray J's growing success makes things complicated with his friends who are still struggling to make it.

Sonja spends some quality time with each of her kids, braving the wilderness on a camping trip with Brandy then visiting the old neighborhood in Carson, California where Ray grew up. The family has come a long way, but some old wounds still haven't healed.

The Norwoods take the family business to the next level as Brandy and Ray J pursue record deals. Ray is handling business on his own, but Sonja has concerns about his decisions. Brandy is excited to begin recording a new hit album but first she must find the right producer.

The Norwoods head back to their small hometown of McComb, Mississippi for a family reunion complete with old stories, food, fishing, dancing and of course, music.
