Black Cake
Drama57 min per episode
After their mother dies, two estranged siblings are pulled back together by the message she leaves behind. In a series of recordings, she begins telling the story she never fully shared: a life that starts on a Caribbean island, runs through secrets, loss, and reinvention, and reaches all the way into her children’s present. As Byron and Benny listen, old resentments rise and buried family history starts to rearrange what they think they know about their mother and themselves. With performances including Mia Isaac and Adrienne Warren, the series moves between past and present as one woman’s hidden choices force her family to confront inheritance, identity, and the damage silence leaves behind.
