Fiona Leighton and Steven Brimm are two teenagers who graduated high school together but their lives took different and unexpected paths. While he enjoyed the freedom of young adult life, she suffered a lot of heartache and embarrassment which had an enormous effect on her as well as her family. This placed her in a compromised position and her life took on a new dimension. Even though they were worlds apart and shared a common bond, Fiona kept her secret furtively locked up in her heart, fiercely guarding her privacy and that of her family.
Then, through a series of events, her life and the lives of a family she never knew began to intertwine and at the center of it all was a greedy, vicious and envious man who tried his best to destroy her family.
