“Do you want to be on the run for the rest of your life?” asks the new trailer for Power Book II: Ghost‘s second season, which premieres Sunday, Nov. 21 at 8/7c on Starz. The video also teases a cameo from executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s character Kanan Stark.

In the upcoming episodes, Tariq St. Patrick (played by Michael Rainey Jr.) is still trying to outrun a legacy that haunts him. “Forced into the choice to take the life of his professor, Jabari Reynolds, Tariq finds himself drifting further from that which he’s been fighting to protect: his family,” per the official synopsis. “With Tasha in witness protection, Tariq knows he must sacrifice anything to save what’s left of his family. Unable to do it alone, he turns to those wielding power and influence: Davis MacLean (Cliff “Method Man” Smith) and his new partner, Cooper Saxe (Shane Johnson), as well as Rashad Tate (Larenz Tate). All of these options come with a steep price, so it’s back to business with the Tejadas.”

But “with two murders involving Stansfield, Monet Tejada (Mary J. Blige) has to question if Tariq is what’s best for her family as she seeks to protect her nephew’s professional basketball prospects at all costs,” the description continues. “Her kids, Dru and Diana, question her moves as she grows more distracted, especially when Monet goes as far as trusting Cane (Woody McClain) again despite his actions against the family. In doing so, Monet finds herself in bed with Mecca, a man who wants to show her a whole new world, potentially at the cost of destroying her old one, forcing Monet to lean on Tariq, who must decide what he really wants and what he’s going to sacrifice to get it.”
