Synopsis:
Chi Nu Legacy is an urban dramatic, character story about Candace Reynolds, a freshman student at Booker T. Washington University and her sorority pledge sisters. When Candy, as her friends call her, shares that she’s been raped by the school’s star basketball player and fiancé of the sorority’s president, all of her plans are in jeopardy. She’ll quickly learn who’s got her back.

 

Candy is forced to soul search as she contemplates her next moves. Do people believe her? Does Candy find the support she needs to get through the most difficult time in her life? Does she continue to pledge the sorority her mother helped found 20+ years earlier on campus? What happens to the basketball player? Follow their journey.
