Who says money brings happiness?
Certainly not Cameron (28), who, despite achieving financial stability after selling a successful app and holding onto the lifelong dream of building a family, is forced to start over romantically after discovering her boyfriend Oliver's betrayal.
A new city. A house cloaked in mystery, where Jasper, the young former owner, died under suspicious circumstances. And neighbors full of secrets and surprises. Among them are Costas (30), charming and of Greek descent, and Joseph (42), a mysterious man who, despite a tense first meeting, seems willing to lower his defenses... at least with her.
Driven by a growing sense of unease, Cameron decides to investigate Jasper's death, with the help of a detective carrying the weight of his own troubled past. Their search for the truth will lead to unexpected revelations, and push Cameron to the point of risking her own life to uncover what really happened.
At Joseph's glamping resort, surrounded by her lifelong best friend Hannah and shaken by shocking truths, including a long-held secret from her older brother, Lucas, Cameron will be forced to confront the future fate has in store for her. A future that just might involve more than one of the men she's come to know... and one that will teach her happiness isn't something you buy... it's something you choose.
