The new FOX drama surrounds hip-hop artist and CEO of Empire Entertainment, Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard), who has always ruled unchallenged, but a medical diagnosis predicts he will be incapacitated in three years, which prompts the sharks to circle. Without further damaging his family, he must decide which of his three sons will take over. The reappearance of Cookie (Taraji Henson), his ex-wife, complicates things; she says he owes her for taking the fall for the drug-running that financed his early career.
