The series is set in Atlanta and follows Earnest "Earn" Marks, as he tries to redeem himself in the eyes of his ex-girlfriend Van, who is also the mother of his daughter Lottie; as well as his parents and his cousin Alfred, who raps under the stage name "Paper Boi"; and Darius, Alfred's eccentric right-hand man. After staying in Europe for a tour during the previous season, the season sees the characters back in Atlanta. In the series finale, Darius experiences hallucinations as a result of a sensory deprivation tank, making him question what is real. In the subplot, Earn, Alfred and Van visit a black-owned restaurant, which proves to be a disastrous experience.
