Empire of Night Season 2: This time, it's Los Angeles.
About
The saga of empires that began in New York moves West. Los Angeles, the City of Angels, is filled with sun, palm trees, music, and cars. But when night falls, another world awakens—one centered around money, power, and influence. Darnell, leader of the Westside Imperial Crips and the Blue Empire, builds his own domain while running Lowline Customs. Before him, Rafael Montero's El Imperio and Lin Xiaoyu's Black Lotus Society emerge, and even the LAPD begins to make its move. The LA night where three empires collide. Only the one who survives until the end becomes the master of the city.
