In the glittering world of wealth and privilege, three unlikely hearts become inexplicably intertwined. Dream, a plus-size black girl with an unforgettable spirit, captures the attention of Cole and Beckett, two heirs to billion-dollar dynasties who share more than just their privileged background. But as their secret romance deepens beneath the shadows of their elite high school, tragedy strikes without warning, none of them anticipate the devastating chain of events that will tear them apart.
Years after Dream's mysterious disappearance, a single letter emerges that threatens to shatter their carefully rebuilt lives. As the past collides with the present, these three must face the consequences of choices made long ago - and decide if some bonds are truly unbreakable, even when they've moved on-or so they say.

And somewhere between them stood a man who had built an empire in the shadows, carrying his own darkness while becoming the light in hers. Isha Kapoor had spent years running from a life that had only ever taught her pain. She believed she knew who she was, where she came from, and why she had been left with nothing but scars.

Until his search leads him to a girl who has no idea that she may be the person he has been looking for all along. As buried secrets rise, old enemies return, and the truth begins to unravel, three shattered lives find themselves connected by a past none of them remember the same way. One girl who never knew where she belonged. One brother who never stopped looking for home. And one man who would turn the world upside down to keep her safe. She thinks she is the darkness. He sees her as the light of his life. But some truths don't just change the future.
