Jones, Evans & Knight is a fictional exploration of Black America
through the lives of four women residing in Morven Town and employed at a
prestigious Black-owned law firm. The inner working of a law firm is no
different than any other corporate atmosphere, but Larenz Jones and
Preston Evans (two of the Partners at JEK) were adamant about addressing
the needs and concerns of their support staff. They understood the
staff's views clearly enough to furnish a large office with a
television, cozy seating and a fridge. It became the perfect place for
the employees to escape and relax for a dose of emergency relief, hence
the nickname the ER. However, there was one partner (Earl Knight) that
had a different view on the staff's obligations to the firm. Earl
believed that employees should do whatever the attorney asked without
question and it was evident in the way he treated his secretary,
Katherine Rowland. He created a chaotic office environment and her
stress was compounded as she struggled to raise three children with an
absent husband. Kat would not be able to endure the day without her
friends-Trisha Ramsey, the outspoken woman that encourages those around
her to be strong and true to themselves; Darleen Reese, the gossip Queen
at JEK, who tells everyone's business except her own (and she has a few
stories hidden); and Naomi Rouge, a woman that breezed into Morven Town
in search of a place to rest when she stumbled into a position as
receptionist at JEK (but no one knows where she came from and Naomi
isn't offering any information). Let these ladies show you what
friendship is all about as they laugh, cry, share secrets, work, learn,
dine, and party together.
