    Since their marriage ten years earlier, Ayla Cruz and Bailey Morrow have built an incredible life together. After Ayla chose journalism over music, she became one of the country’s most respected investigative reporters. Bailey, on the other hand, stayed with music and teamed up with Ayla’s friend Lindsay to become a Grammy-winning writing duo. With a mansion in Miami’s most expensive neighborhood, it seems nothing can curtail their happiness… But, as it often does, tragedy strikes. Bailey’s greedy, fame and fortune seeking family falls to pieces when the truth about Bailey’s half-brother from his father’s longtime affair is revealed. The family crumbles and nearly takes Ayla and Bailey’s marriage down in the process.
