The one-hour drama, "The Haves and the Have Nots," follows the tangled lives of the wealthy Cryer and Harrington families and the poor Young family.

A fire tears through the Harrington mansion, sparked by socialite Veronica Harrington (Angela Robinson) in a fit of jealous rage aimed at her husband David Harrington (Peter Parros). Once again, Candace Young (Tika Sumpter) who extorted millions from judge Jim Cryer (John Schneider), finds herself in the crosshairs of trouble --- accused by Jim and his wife Katheryn (Renee Lawless) for the death of their daughter and stopping at nothing to find her missing child. Meanwhile, the sons --- Wyatt Cryer (Aaron O'Connell), Jeffrey Harrington (Gavin Houston) and Benny Young (Tyler Lepley) --- must grapple with their own issues and the aftermath of their actions. And Young family matriarch, Hanna (Crystal Fox), struggles to hold her family together. The series is produced for OWN by Tyler Perry Studios. It is created, written, directed and executive produced by Tyler Perry.
