Keep up with the Duncan family down South as we travel to New Orleans in The Family Business 7. 


Operated by the same family for more than a century, the Midnight Blues may be fun for the locals and tourists, but as of late, the casino has created lots of headaches for its owner, Big Shirley Duncan. With her son, Marquis, and her brother, Floyd, by her side, Shirley goes into self-preservation mode after a body is discovered in one of her high-stakes rooms at the casino. The dead man’s brother is Jean LeBlanc, a notorious NOLA crime boss with the violent Crescent Boys gang under his control. If Jean finds out his brother died at the Midnight Blues, they will all be in grave danger.   


Shirley will do anything to protect her family and her legacy. With the assistance of a crooked cop and a corrupt mayor, they move the body to another location and give Jean LeBlanc a false story about his brother’s death. Shirley still doesn’t trust that her family is in the clear and decides to send Marquis out of town until things cool off.  


Marquis has other plans, however, and enlists some muscle. His cousins Curtis Duncan and his sister, Lauryn, both well trained in mercenary skills, come to New Orleans for backup. Their mother, Nee Nee Duncan, tags along, not knowing that she’s about to have a surprise reunion of her own in New Orleans. 


When a witness comes forward to tell Jean that he saw the Duncans moving his brother’s body, Shirley and her family find themselves in the crosshairs. Hunted by the Crescent Boys and running out of time, the Duncans will have to pull out all the stops to save the Blues and clear their names before Jean tears it all down.
