Plot Synopsis

LOVE THY SISTER is a one-hour reality series that follows three sisters -- Ruby, Ellen and Ione Rucker -- who belong to one of the oldest and most prominent families in the Carolinas, as they deal with the ups and downs of life while remaining the best of friends. Ruby, the eldest sister, and her husband, Ford Sawyer Cooper, an orthodontist with several offices in the Charlotte area, have three children. Ford's practice has recently fallen on hard times, so Ruby feels pressure to keep up with her sisters while downsizing her family's lifestyle and working to hide her current financial struggles. Regardless Ruby never holds back and is notorious for being vocal about her opinions, especially when going head-to-head with her two younger sisters. Ellen, the middle sister, is divorced from Vince Carter of the Dallas Mavericks, and is the mother of their daughter, Kai. Ellen has been dating attorney and now former South Carolina Congressman, Bakari Sellers for five years and struggles with the idea of committing to him because of her failed marriage. Ellen has also recently taken a step back from her chiropractic practice to spend more time with their daughter and enjoy life and family more. Ione, the youngest of the three sisters, is also divorced from a prominent pro basketball player, Antawn Jamison, her college sweetheart who is not retired from the game. Ione has three young children, and spends a lot of time with her transgender best friend, Londyn. However, Ione is single and has yet to find the next love of her life. While Ione jumps back into the dating scene, she also wants to prove her independence and capability by organizing a benefit for the family's non-profit organization, The Rucker Education Scholarship Fund. Together, Ruby (fifth child), Ione (eighth child) and Ellen (seventh child) are three of eight children born to Dr. Douglas Rucker, a dentist who has been practicing dentistry for over fifty years, and Ruby King Rucker, a first-grade teacher before quitting her job to become a full-time homemaker.
