Prudence and Lucile couldn't be more different. Lucile is kind-hearted and selfless, despite her background. Prudence is selfish and manipulative. Prudence grew up within the marble walls of a large Calabasas mansion, along with her father, pop-star mother and loving grandmother. Lucile grew up in motels and the apartments of her mother's ex-boyfriends without a single knowledge who her father was. What do they have in common? They are both daughters of the multi-billion dollar tycoon Herman Gonzales. They don't know each other exists.
Lucile has dreams to own the biggest fashion line in NYC. When tragedy strikes, Lucile is forced to take her sister Billie and mother and flee to L.A from their troubles in Seattle. But she's determined to see her plan through. Even if it means working at some rundown coffee shop in L.A. Enter the Rodrigues brothers. Nico, 24, and Tobias, 27. Nico, the super handsome, top-model playboy of Hollywood. Tobias, an incredibly good looking heartthrob and C.O.O of Adonis - the leading fashion brand in the world. Nico doesn't believe in true love, however Tobias is the opposite. Despite that, the two brothers love each other.
On her first day in L.A, Lucile manages to strike up animosity with Nico. Tobias, however, falls in love with her at first sight. Lucile is offered a part-time job at Adonis as Tobias's P.A, which she gladly takes. Meanwhile, Prudence finds herself obsessing over Tobias, and does everything in her power to get close to him - including applying for the job as his P.A, despite the animosity between the Rodrigues's and the Gonzales's. In the end, both Lucile and Prudence end up with the job. A war of love, hate, lust and power is sparked.
