Welcome to Potomac, where proper etiquette is key, and breaking the rules comes with serious consequences. At a birthday party celebrating Karen Huger, grande dame of Potomac high society, Gizelle Bryant's lack of manners puts the two divas into a battle for supremacy. And as if that wasn't enough, Gizelle is under fire from Charrisse Jackson Jordan, for acting not very lady like in her plush home. International model Katie Rost, a divorced socialite with three toddlers, is doing everything in her power to get her boyfriend to put a ring on it. Meanwhile, Robyn Dixon, who lives with her ex-husband, former NBA star Juan Dixon, must decide if she wants to rekindle her relationship with her ex.

Katie steps out into Washington DC's charity social scene to attract attention and dollars for her family's foundation. But the pressure shifts from her philanthropic work to her marital status. Robyn faces a difficult choice that may threaten her unconventional relationship with her ex-husband. Karen and Charrisse meet Katie's new friend, 26-year-old Ashley Darby. Married to a wealthy businessman almost 30 years her senior, this young wife has her sights set on joining Potomac society. Ashley attempts to impress the women when she hosts a whiskey tasting, but the liquor isn't the only thing causing discomfort.
