In the aftermath of the shoot out at Pop's Barber Shop at the hands of Cottonmouth's associate, Tone (Warner Miller), Pop (Frankie Faison) is dead and Chico (Brian 'Sene' Marc) is seriously injured in hospital. As Luke Cage (Mike Colter) tries to come to terms with events he is determined, with the help of Bobby Fish (Ron Cephas Jones), to keep Pop's Barber Shop open for the sake of Harlem and its community. He heeds the wise words of Pop and his call to action - "Forward Always".

This culminates in an audacious raid on "The Bank" at the Crispus Attucks building.
