After sparking headlines last year with buzz about a new television series being in the works, G-Unithead 50 Cent "s upcoming Power show "s trailer has premiered online.

Along with the must-see footage, a full description of the program has also emerged.

His club, Truth, caters to the elite: the famous and infamous boldface names that run the city that never sleeps. As its success grows, so do Ghost "s plans to build an empire. However, Truth hides an ugly reality. It "s a front for Ghost "s criminal underworld; a lucrative drug network, serving only the wealthy and powerful. (HHNM)

Hype behind Curtis Jackson landing an executive producer role on the series bubbled online last summer.

Starz said on Friday that it was picking up a new drama series called "Power," which is set in the shadowy world of New York City night life and whose executive producers include 50 Cent (who is also known by his civilian name, Curtis Jackson). "Power" is created by Courtney Kemp Agboh, a producer of "The Good Wife," and chronicles a fictional nightclub owner named James St. Patrick, known as Ghost. But while he dreams of success, Ghost is living a double life: "When he is not in the club," says a Starz news release, "he is the kingpin of the most lucrative drug network in New York for a very high-level clientele. His marriage, family and business all become unknowingly threatened as he is tempted to leave his criminal life behind and become the rags-to-riches businessman he wants to be most of all."
