Kylie Wyld, however, is determined to show the world that Michelle is a fraud. After years of blaming Michelle for her brother's death, she has plans to take over the sanctuary for herself, expose Michelle's secrets, and cement Bruce's golden legacy once and for all. Between maintaining the animal sanctuary, wrestling with their complicated relationship, and finding new loves of their own, Michelle and Kylie will have to confront their pasts - and come to terms with their memories of a man who wasn't at all what he seemed - if they are to carve new futures for themselves.
