Set in the world of professional basketball, "Hit The Floor's" season one finale shook up Devils Nation with a new All-Star, a new Devil Girls Director and several new hook-ups. The series, which averaged 1.9 million viewers in its debut season, will pick up right where the juicy drama between the Devil Girls dance team and the coaches and players left off.

Now that Ahsha is single, there's room for her and Derek to explore a relationship. Sloane has taken the job as Devil Girl Director, adding tension to an already strained mother-daughter relationship. Jelena, team captain, keeps a close eye on Ahsha and Sloane, watching for any opportunity to get rid of them both.

There are love triangles galore as new characters join this spicy soap including Lionel, Coach Davenport's estranged, starlet wife; Zero, a God-loving superstar player who is immediately drawn to bad girl Jelena; and Jude, an ambitious junior agent who's come to Devils Arena with a very big agenda.

Everyone has a secret to protect, until a big mystery threatens to expose them all.
