Here is the official synopsis of the season: 

"Power Book II: Ghost season 3 kicks off with Tariq St. Patrick determined to get his trust, get back to his family and get out of the game for good. A new connect interrupts Tariq’s plans and puts him, Brayden and Effie back into business with the Tejadas. 

"When Brayden brings Tariq in as an intern at his family’s hedge fund, the drug business expands beyond Stansfield and onto Wall Street. Monet Tejada is willing to pay a price to avenge her firstborn and keep the rest of her children - and the business - in line as she works closely with Davis MacLean to solve Zeke’s murder and keep the feds off her trail. A staggering reveal forces Tariq to reckon with a betrayal from those closest to him...and a R.I.C.O. investigation mounting, pulling Tariq deeper into the business and closer to the legacy of his father."
