When billionaire tycoon Philip Caldwell dies unexpectedly, his greedy and power-hungry family gathers to claim their piece of his vast fortune. But imagine their shock when his will is read, revealing that everything—his estate, his companies, his billions—has been left to his young caregiver, 23-year-old Astrid Bennett.
