Jess isn't looking for love, or is she? It's the start of a new year and as she's reflecting on her life, she thinks about who she is and where she's come from. Jessica Murphy owns a very successful development and construction company, a role she landed in by chance. She's managed to shed all ties to her past, except for her brother, they were the only family each of them had. Coming from a violent troubled childhood they'd both made something of their lives. So why did Jess feel so incomplete, so discontent.
Brendan had moved to Sydney to make a fresh start, a new beginning where no one knew about his past year. Like Jess, he wasn't looking for love either, but when the two cross paths there is a definite spark. Will their romance survive the shadow that has followed Brendan to Sydney, and can he overcome Jess's financial success so they can have a future together. When their roller coaster ride ends in tragedy, will it be the undoing of their relationship and a future together?
