But behind sold-out records, magazine headlines, and unforgettable performances is a young woman who never expected to survive long enough to become famous. Between an overprotective manager who became the closest thing she's ever had to family, an artist named Michael Jackson who sees more than the headlines, and relationships that slowly teach her what love is supposed to look like... Nia begins to realize that healing isn't something you do alone. Some stories aren't about finding love. They're about finding home.

Instead, she finds herself pulled into Michael's world. As deadlines close in and the demands on Michael become impossible to ignore, Carrie becomes his fiercest advocate.

And neither of them is prepared for what happens when those things become something more.
