Plot Synopsis

FLEX & SHANICE is a one-hour reality series that follows the lives of a celebrity husband-and-wife duo, actor Flex Alexander and '90s pop singer Shanice, and their extended family all living together under one roof. From the outside looking in, Flex and Shanice are living the dream -- they are beautiful celebrities with a long-standing marriage, gorgeous kids and a lovely home in suburbia. But what this fairytale couple has been hiding from the world is that they have been teetering on the edge of financial ruin for the past five years. So they moved with their two children, 12-year-old Imani and 10-year-old Elijah, into a rental home and brought their extended family into the mix to help cover the cost -- but nine people under one roof, including Shanice's momager Crystal, can add just as much stress as it relieves. Meanwhile, Flex tries to rebuild the stand-up career that he abandoned 18 years ago, and Shanice heads back into the studio to restart her R&B career.
