Nicole fights to keep her home and the brothers' trust.
Nicole Quinn loses everything when her family collapses, only to find a new life with the Smiths. For twenty years Colin and Abel treat her like the center of their world, their mother raising her as a daughter. Then Mandy Moore arrives, the nanny's child, and begins a calculated campaign of public traps and shame designed to push Nicole out. With each scheme the brothers pull away, their devotion replaced by distance, leaving Nicole alone in the only home she has known.
