As far as the world is concerned, Clarke was raised a southern belle, from a rich plantation family in small town Alabama. She's finally become somebody, a successful designer on her way to becoming a household name. But when her boyfriend, Finn Collins, son of New York City's mayor, proposes to her and she says yes, Clarke finds herself back in Polis, Alabama. Back in her hometown for the first time in five years, Clarke has to come to terms with the fact that maybe she's been living a lie in New York. Oh, and that if she wants to marry Finn, she first needs to convince her high school sweetheart, Lexa Woods, to sign their divorce papers.
