Monica, a powerful business woman, tries everything in her will to continue the chain of success her father had started, while struggling to mend her private life. Meanwhile, her younger sister, Jess, yearns for a life in the arts but must, however, cling to Monica's demands out of fear for her (Monica). Aston and Shontel are also in fear of this autocratic figure. Monica refuses to employ Shontel, who has to settle for underemployment, adding to her already filled basket of troubles. Aston is elated as he embarks on a new life in the west, earning enough money to aid his ailing mother, and having enough time to pursue Jess. But everything seems somewhat chaotic when Monica's company, as well as her love life, starts spiraling down...when Shontel's ex returns from prison...when Aston's secret starts to unravel...when Jess and Monica have to deal with an aspect of their past that they never thought would be resurrected. And so we're puzzled with the question of deception which, for most of the story, goes unanswered resulting in an intriguing combination of emotional, physical, economical, and personal wars.
