In the aftermath of a devastating event, a once-close family is torn apart by the burden of an ancient feud between their ancestors. The father, along with his sons, seeks refuge in the depths of South America, while the mother takes to the road across the United States, hiding with their only daughter.
Five years later, a single phone call from an old ally summons the brothers back to the U.S., urgently needed to help their sister. But when they arrive, they discover she isn't the only one in need of their assistance. There's someone else-someone they knew existed but had never met: their youngest sister, Estella. She was the child their mother was pregnant with when she fled their family home in Connecticut so many years ago.
Now, Estella's world has been turned upside down, and the family is thrust into a heart-wrenching reunion. Told through the innocent eyes of a five-year-old girl, this is a story of a broken family struggling to protect one another from the cruel forces that have torn them apart. Will the innocence of a child be enough to heal the wounds of the past, or has time already sealed their fate forever?
Blair has spent the last 3 years stuck with the man she once viewed as a father figure, whom she now views as a pure monster. When the monster dies she's given no time to think before she and her 4-year-old baby sister are sent to live with 6 of their older brothers which she didn't have any idea even existed.
Zade, the oldest of the brothers, takes on the role of being their legal guardian, working on the family business he inherited at the same time. The most of them now have to work on their behaviors and habits in order to form the best environment for their sisters as well as keep big secrets not fit for fragile souls from the girls.
In a clusterfuck of secrets, family, and danger, they all slowly but surely try to form a normal and safe home.
