Early 1989.
The Bad tour is over.
123 concerts. 15 countries. Two exhausting years.
And Michael Jackson is finally home.
Neverland is everything he dreamed of, a quiet paradise far away from cameras, reporters, and the chaos of being the most famous man in the world.
There's just one problem.
Michael Jackson has absolutely no idea how to run a ranch.
He doesn't know how to manage employees, pay bills, plan groceries... or keep his new home from turning into complete chaos.
Enter Hazel Flores.
Young, ambitious, stubbornly independent, and one of the best housekeepers in Los Angeles, Hazel knows exactly what she wants: a good job, good money, and a life she can build entirely on her own.
So when she's offered the chance to take care of Michael Jackson's new mansion, she sees it for what it is.
A job.
A very good one.
And Michael is her boss.
She's his employee.
That's all.
Things are supposed to remain professional. Hazel will take care of Neverland, Michael will take care of the magic, and they'll both go about their lives.
Simple.
Except somewhere between playful jokes, quiet glances, and the moments when the world disappears behind Neverland's gates, professional starts becoming personal.
He finds himself drawn to the woman who refuses to treat him like a star.
She finds herself falling for the man behind the name.
And neither of them is supposed to want the other.
Because he's her boss.
And she's just a housekeeper.
Yeah, right.
