When Seraphina Mint, the daughter of one of the most successful business owners in California, finds herself staying in the Taxeira Estate--a large centuries old house for the wealthy--she meets the strangely violent Sabrina Creed, the weirdly impertinent Grayson Blut, the tumultuous Lennox Pry, the unenthusiastic melodramatic Alfie Menss, and the quirky, suicidal Novia Laine. But then arrives the handsome and mysterious Phoenix Mender, who brings chaos and mystery, or at least more than usual, to the Taxeira Estate.
