One year to live her life in freedom. One year that would end in marriage. But just when the year is about to conclude a new man comes to town, one who threatens to completely unravel Beatrice's world. Lies surface and trust is broken as Beatrice is forced to face the truth about her family's past. Power corrupted this game, now she's the only one who can stop them.
