“All the Queen’s Men”<\/strong> follows Madam (Eva Marcille), a fierce businesswoman and self-proclaimed boss at the top of her game in the nightclub industry and surrounded by a band of trusted employees who work to ensure her success, who soon discovers that more money and more power means more problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
