*****

Treasure Miller, a young woman in her 20s who has never experienced true happiness, constantly struggles with the decision to live away from the city with her older sister, Ivory.

A persistent yearning to return to the city has consumed Treasure's thoughts for a considerable period. Their departure from the metropolis during her formative years has left her memories blurred, leaving her to ponder the reasons behind their departure and her sister's apprehension about the city.

Among the enigmatic puzzles, the absence of their parents perplexes Treasure the most. They chose not to accompany them, leaving behind no visual reminders of their existence. The absence of their faces erodes Treasure's sense of identity.

Treasure's sister, Ivory understands all too well that her sister is plagued by overthinking and an insatiable quest for perfection. Contentment eludes her when circumstances fail to align with her lofty expectations. In simpler terms, if things don't go the way she wants, she can't be happy.

Longing for something more profound, Treasure yearns for happiness, a sense of direction, and, above all, the vibrant allure of city life. Little does she know that a near-tragedy involving Ivory, her strongest support, will lead her to the place she desires the most... and to a mysterious person named Cole Astor.
