Plot Synopsis

Set in Los Angeles, SACRIFICE is a legal thriller that follows Daniella Hernandez, a highly sought-after entertainment lawyer, as she navigates the nefarious lives of her rich and famous clients. Beyond her life as a powerhouse attorney, Daniella tries to get over her childhood trauma.

On Thursday, December 19, 2019, BET+ released SACRIFICE, the streaming service's first original film, which served as a back-door pilot. The movie was executive produced, written, and directed by Chris Stokes.

Nearly two years later -- on Thursday, November 4, 2021 -- the entire 10-episode first season of SACRIFICE dropped on BET+. The series delves deeper into Daniella's complicated personal life. She is a recovering alcoholic who compensates for her suppressed addiction with men and the adrenaline of defending the worst in the entertainment world against an over-zealous D.A. sworn to bring them all to justice. Daniella's unimpeachable clients need her help, wisdom and resourcefulness -- as do all the corrupt ones. She is the classic conundrum of doing good for bad reasons and doing bad for good reasons. Maybe it's luck, maybe it's skill, maybe it's because she's beautiful, but Daniella gets away with it... so far. "I am excited to reprise the role of Daniella Hernandez, her strength and ability to overcome incredible challenges is inspiring, and I am grateful for the opportunity to continue working with BET," said Paula Patton. "It is a wonderful experience to work with our cast and crew to create characters and stories that entertain and move people."

And nine months after that -- on Wednesday, August 17, 2022 -- SACRIFICE made its linear television debut from 9-11pm ET/PT, as BET aired back-to-back episodes, with a simulcast on BET Her.
