But when the police storm her foster home and take her into custody, Nelly's world is turned upside down. At the station, she learns something she never expected-she has a family. A father and five older brothers, none of whom she's ever met. Whisked into a world of wealth and mystery, Nelly is thrust into a life she doesn't understand.

Nelly's quiet resilience might be the only thing that can bridge the gap between her broken past and a future she's too scared to believe in.
